    Systematization of Experiences – Motivational strategies related with the instruction of EFL directed toward problematic students at Unidad Educativa Rumipamba' Public School
    (PUCE - Ibarra, 2023) Cabrera Chicaiza, Emilio Xavier; Díaz Gutiérrez, Daniel Alejandro
    In the first encounter with the Rumipamba students, it was noted how little they cared about learning the language and, rather, mostly focused on completing activities and getting the necessary grades to pass the subject. There are few examples of students who actually take part into the class and make visible progress throughout the duration of the process, but these students were already cooperative and focused on their studies. The real change was noted when some of the ‘reckless’ students from each classroom started paying attention and actually participated in class because they were able to retain more information.When students are introduced to new language, the first thing that comes to their mind could be how difficult it may be or how long will it take for them to learn it. Regardless, they do not ask themselves the real question: “How did I learn Spanish in the first place?” by thinking it is a matter of grammar structures, rules or repeating they do not realize that language is part of communication. After conducting these studies inside this establishment, it was reckoned how monotony and lack of support from both parents and teachers can really affect how a student behaves in class and what information they retain.After analyzing the results, as well as the experiences detailed in this document, it is deemed necessary to pay mind to the students’ necessities; apart from the SEN ‘Special Educational Needs; and preferences as well as their complete understanding of the topic or subject. Mostly, to ensure they keep their attention in class and are actually interested on what is being discussed in class, changing approach from time to time or giving students more options to learn English in how ever way they want or are able to, seeing as how- if it were up to them- they would actually ‘love to learn English’.
