English as a Global Language: What Motivates Students to Learn English? - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
As an international study major in college, I learned that the United Nations, a non-governmental organization, officially recognizes six world languages: every meeting, written document, and speech are translated into these languages. English is one of them. It is spoken and written by billions of people around the world. Having traveled in eight countries myself, I was surprised to have seen how commonplace it was for countries to translate directional signs in both the official language and in English. A student's mastery of the English language, or in any language, can be a difficult journey to venture. Therefore, this essay will explore what factors may motivate a student to learn English.

How will I find a place to live when I teach English abroad? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
When embarking on a journey to teach English abroad, a paramount consideration for many teachers, whether novice or seasoned, is securing suitable accommodation that melds comfort with safety.

Will motivated students learn more English? - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
There is little doubt that students who are interested, involved and motivated are easier to teach. Motivated students are forthcoming and attentive, the class flows easily, and there is more response and creativity during activities. So, with a class full of motivated kids, we find our English class is more fun. But does that mean the students can learn as much?
The level of motivation is tied to the teacher's response.
