Abstract
Description
This chapter emphasizes the importance of motivation in foreign language learning, highlighting how motivated learners are more likely to achieve their goals and enjoy their educational journey. It discusses the role of teachers in creating a motivational environment and presents communicative strategies and techniques designed to enhance students' extrinsic motivation towards learning the target language. Derived from the findings of an inter-university research project in Ecuador, these pedagogical tools are aimed at fostering engaging language practice. Each strategy is outlined with its objective, applicable English proficiency level, promoted student skills, and implementation steps. While some strategies have been validated through research, others have been endorsed by their consistent success in classroom settings. The chapter serves as a comprehensive guide for language instructors to apply these techniques, ensuring a learner-centered approach that boosts motivation and maximizes language acquisition.
