The Motivated Classroom

16 ¦ Building motivation through autonomy, relatedness & student led classes


Listen Later

In this episode I explain how I build on those relationships built in the first few years of students' Spanish learning journey, taking those more advanced and older students to a new level as 'Government Ministers' in my (fake) country of Españoland. It provides them with autonomy and ownership over what we learn and the resources we will study together as a group. By empowering them to be members of your 'Government' it not only teaches them about democracy and leadership but also allows them to become real experts in their chosen 'Ministry' before those final exams. If you teach older teenagers who have more advanced level of language, this episode is for you!

For full details a list of these strategies, check out the programme notes with further information and links to research and resources at www.liamprinter.com/podcast.
