Policy: Primary ELT Programmes

There are policies on EYL program activities such as: Listening (Listen and Imitate, Listen and Repeat, Listen and follow instruction, Listen and Match), Speaking, Reading, Writing.

There are several types of contextual factors: Language teaching or settings, educational frameworks, Status English and attitude to English.

Motivation is decisive in learning language especially if it is not your mother tongue. Motivation also can be defined as a key in learning other languages. The first language is a natural part of growing up, whereas the second foreign language is a result of motivation and hard work.

According to Dornyei, there are four main stages or components of motivational teaching:
   Create motivating conditions for learning. This means creating a pleasant and supportive environment in the classroom. 
       Introduce initial motivational techniques such as talking about values, showing positive attitudes to learning, creating materials that are relevant for the learners, and establishing expectations of success.
       Teachers need to take care to maintain and protect their learners’ motivation by offering stimulating activities and fostering self-esteem, self-confidence, and cooperation among learners. 
Motivating teachers take care to turn evaluation and feedback into positive experiences.
