Synchronous (Session) Exploring Motivational Strategies in Extensive Reading Programs more
Sun, Nov 7, 12:00-12:45 Asia/Seoul
Motivating students is critical to the success of extensive reading programs. Therefore, intentional and creative motivational strategies can maximize the efficacy of extensive reading programs by fostering students’ will and desire to read. This presentation explores four different areas to increase students’ motivation: 1. Reducing the amount of effort students need to put forth to read. 2. Increasing the enjoyment of reading (affective aspects). 3. Developing students’ want and will to read (cognitive aspects). 4. Maximizing the use of social factors. The presenter will offer a wide variety of strategies, considerations, and practical implications related to motivational theory and research. Some strategies focus on generating motivation while others focus on maintaining motivation. Ultimately, the teacher holds the power to effectively nurture self-motivated readers, so come and learn which strategies you can implement in your classroom and how you can make your current strategies more effective. Handouts shared. Active participation anticipated. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
