About this episode
This episode explores three case studies on language learner motivation and strategies to transform demotivation into intrinsic motivation.
The second episode with a direct focus on the core premise of this podcast: language learner motivation . In this episode I look in detail at three case studies shared by the listeners on demotivation and how we can turn this into intrinsic motivation in the language acquisition classroom over the last two years. Thank you to all the podcast patrons and supporters for sharing their scenarios and case studies. I'd love to know what you think of my take on these three cases in particular.
