Innovation in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: The Key for Student Motivation - Troya Sánchez, Miriam Eucevia; Moreno Ordóñez, Rosa Paola; Molina Perez, Erika Micaela (Machala : Editorial UTMACH, 2024)
This chapter explores innovative approaches in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), aiming to surpass the limitations of traditional methods that hinder learner motivation. It's structured into two main sections: a systematic review of recent educational innovations and a detailed examination of Kumaravadivelu’s postmethod pedagogy, which aligns with Keller’s ARCS motivational model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction). Through addressing key research questions, the chapter delves into how innovations in foreign language teaching and learning can refresh education, the impact of technology on innovation and student motivation, the most effective methods for incorporating technology into TEFL, and the postmethod’s potential in ensuring efficient English language teaching and learning.
