“Without sufficient motivation, even individuals with the most remarkable abilities cannot accomplish long-term goals; nor are appropriate curricula and good teaching enough to ensure student achievement on their own.”
The TESOL Encyclopedia of English Language Teaching (2018, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)
Meet Zoltán Dörnyei
“You can be the most motivated learner in the world, but if something distracts you and you disengage, you’re off. If there is no engagement, there is no learning. The challenge is not how do we motivate students, but how do we manage their attention.”

“The bad news is that ignoring the performance
- f people is almost as bad as shredding their
effort in front of their eyes. The good news is that by simply looking at something that somebody has done, scanning it and saying "Uh huh" seems to be quite sufficient to dramatically improve people's
- motivations. (…)
“So the good news is that adding motivation doesn't seem to be so difficult. The bad news is that eliminating motivations seems to be incredibly easy, and if we don't think about it carefully, we might overdo it.”

“A teacher heard one child using these words to describe the computer work: "It's fun. It's hard. It's Logo." I have no doubt that this kid called the work fun because it was hard rather than in spite of being hard.”
