The Role of Teachersâ€™ Motivation on the Language Learnerâ€™s Strategies
Motivation in the second language learning has been widely studied from different perspectives recently. Mostly theÂ studentâ€™s motiva tion was the main concern to study and an issue of improvement.. In this article I will have a look from the teachersâ€™ motivation perspective and how this Â effects the students learning. Teachersâ€™ motivation plays a very important role in language teaching andÂ learning process, as a result of teachersâ€™ positive approach, the learners can develop positive strategies for language learning.
The more we motivate the language teachers to improve themselves and apply new methods and techniques in their classes Â the better our students learn the target language and develop good language learning strategies.
