It is certainly true that students do learn in unfavorable conditions, and it is also true that students often succeed using methods that experts have considered unsatisfactory. All teachers can think of some students who are significantly better than their peers, and it seems reasonable to suggest that the motivation of the student is perhaps the single most importantthingthathebringstotheclassroom.

Language learners who are motivated also perceive goals ofvarioustypes, andherewemight immediately make a distinction between short-term goals might include such things as the urge to pass an end-of-term or end-of-semester exam or complete a unit successfully. It seems possible to suggest that a teacher will find a strongly motivated student with a long-term goal easier to teach than a student who has to study the language because it is on the curriculum and who does not have such a goal.For the latter type of student short-term goals will often be the source of anymotivationhehas. 1.What’sthepassage about?
