As motivation is one of the issues that concern me the most in terms of language learning, the video that mostly caught my attention was: the surprising truth about what motivates us.
The video made a clear reference to the impact of enhancing the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in company workers, but it works the same in the educational settings. The video said that it is not enough to provide rewards for work if people do not feel that they are enough for all the effort they made, which is the same with just giving good grades to our students. The main suggestion about motivation is that we should stimulate the intrinsic motivation that all of us have hidden somewhere inside us, we should allow our second language learners to be autonomous, to work on their mastery and to find a purpose on what they are doing to be motivated to learn.
