MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES IN TEACHING EFL BY INTERN STUDENTS

Today’s language learning and teaching activities may change and develop following the current situations that need some teaching strategies for the teachers in teaching their students in the class. Some strategies are believed to be able to increase the students’ motivations and improve their achieve–ments in learning the language. Referring to the current situations, teaching and learning activities are mostly focused on developing creativity and problem solving ability. Hargreaves (2003) states that educators must prepare students for a knowledge society where instructions tend to focus on creativity and problem solving.
In teaching in the class referring to the current situations focusing on developing creativity and problem solving skill, teachers need to have some various ways to build the atmospheres in which the teaching and learning activities focusing on creativity and problem solving skills can be reached. Tomlinson (2001) declares that teachers must plan a variety of ways to encourage learning for the students in the class, and it is a challenge to do so. Hence, the biggest chal–lenge for the teachers in teaching students in the class is to create some various ways or strategies to make their teaching achievements and goals.
Teaching achievements are very important for the teachers when teaching in the class. It is assumed that teaching with no achievements or targets to be reached seems to be useless. Teaching achievements may contribute to measure the students’ motivations in learning. Sometimes students will lack of motivations in learning when the teaching achieve–ments proposed by a teacher is not clearly planned and suc–cessfully reached. Hence, it can be said that teaching objectives and students’ motivation are closely related
