Summary

Instructions

1. Divide the class into five groups.

2. Hand out a different mind map to each group. Explain that each mind map focuses on one of the main areas which influence motivation for L2 learning. Ask trainees to discuss the questions on their mind map, sharing specific examples from their experience as an L2 learner and teacher. One trainee in the group notes down details from the discussion on the mind map, branching out from the main prompt words. If trainees find it difficult to think of examples, they can also discuss and note down how the factor that they are discussing can be used to motivate language learners in the classroom.

3. When the mind maps are finished, have trainees display them on the classroom walls and ask them to present their observations to the whole class, allowing two to three minutes for each group. Allow for questions at the end of each presentation.

4. Hand out a set of the classroom activity cards to each group. Ask trainees to match them to the appropriate motivating factor on the appropriate mind map.

5. Monitor and conduct whole-class feedback.
