Motivated learners are more likely to engage in the learning process both inside and outside the classroom. However, it is sometimes difficult to determine exactly what it is that motivates learners. Is it their individual desire to learn or is it the materials we use, or could it be what actually goes on in the classroom? This workshop looked at the recent history of motivation in English language teaching and then outlined ways that teachers can think about motivation.
