I firmly believe that motivation is the first and paramount factor in creating a favorable learning environment. The teaching-learning process does not begin unless I have addressed this issue upfront, so that students can enjoy the learning experience, instead of enduring it. 



 

My effort in extrinsic motivation is to trigger the intrinsic motivation.  To me, building trust in the student-teacher relationship is the key to motivating students. Hence, I devote as much attention to this sphere as to the teaching of content. Once trust is built, it spontaneously opens up communication, increases student-teacher confidence, and leads to the desire to cooperate, collaborate and learn.
