HOW TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS USING INTERACTIVE GAMES IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Abstract

This article focuses on first and foremost; motivation is an orientation towards learning which is used to inspire students. Therefore, it impacts how likely a student is either to give up or push forward, and how thoughtful their reflection on their learning will be. The deeper the motivation for pursuing an activity, the more likely that the student will not accept easy answers to complex questions. In short, intrinsic motivation fosters strong and flexible critical thinking skills. On the other hand, amotivation and purely extrinsic motivation lead to low interest and academic persistence.
