I was interested in reading her review of chapter 5. She asked “Sometimes even I feel curious about why Korean students are too much passive in class. Is it because characteristics of a nation? Or have they been influenced by Confucianism which requires students to listen to teachers?”
Many teachers have had the experience of facing a classroom of highly disciplined yet passive learners who will do everything necessary to achieve high grades but have little desire to learn anything that is not required. Given that choice, most teachers would prefer learners who are both self-motivated and self-managed. So autonomy enables students to feel pride in their own achievements.
As she said that if learners have appropriate motivation together, they can maximize the effect, I totally agree her opinion. I used to meet some elementary students who are getting less and less interest to study English and seem to have no motivation to learn. How can I help them? What is a good strategy for them?
We joined this course because we wanted to find a good solution for these question.
