I’m guessing “this”… is why you have dropped into the ole blog today, ehh?

I’m assuming, for a start, you have not come here…for:
…BUT, then again!

Rather…”motivated” by my little tease of a blog post title, you are after…
…of motivating your students…your LEARNers!

Are you sure…? I have been doing a lot of this business lately – you know:
You know what they say about “getting” what you “wish” for…

The thing is…with this one, I might end up having to agree with Jack Nicholson:
…I really do!

I mean…what happens, if you are disappointed by:
After all…all that glitters is not gold, my friends!

When you hear it…you might just thunk:
…and never come back to the blog…EVER!

I wouldn’t want that to happen…I care about you all too deeply for that!

I don’t know…don’t know what to do…really don’t…

And so, as I end this seemingly long semester, I too hoped for that silver bullet of a secret that is so elusive! 🙂
On another note, I wonder whether I should stop seeking; every context, classroom is so different and individual. Yes, there may be shared characteristics among them, but each has its own classroom culture. As for success…..I rejoice for students who pass their exams (and today I have been rejoicing for those who have passed their IELTS), and I rejoice for those, who have learnt and are more confident in their learning. For those students who have grown.
It always amazes me how students develop and grow – and how teachers are only a small part of that process. Almost invisible to the messy thing called “learning”, teaching and teachers make me proud – even if you haven’t yet decided to share the magic of motivation 😉
I will – promise…but you may not like it 😉
