TOPIC SENTENCE OF PATAGRAPH {click here}


An important factor in learning a foreign language has to do with the

concept of intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation.  When we do something

for the “fun of it” or because we enjoy it, that is called intrinsic

motivation.  Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is when we do

something for the purpose of receiving some kind of external reward

such as money, time off from work, etc. Many education experts believe

that intrinsic motivation is more powerful when it comes to helping

students retain what they’ve learned.  The question and challenge for

teachers today is, “How can we help our students become intrinsically

motivated in what we are teaching?”
