Not only did it allow them to enjoy the lesson from beginning to end, but it also enabled them to even improvise and demonstrate the amount of language they are able to handle.  mresendiz https://padlet.com/sombraism1/iigjyd4w29yu/wish/116854241 2016-07-23 22:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sombraism1/iigjyd4w29yu/wish/116854241 I totally believed that students' motivation was fundamental, because it allowed them to enjoy the lesson from the beginning to the end. Since the setting was appealing, most of the students were presenting their interviews fluently and confidently; some of them even improvising and showing off the amount of language they were able to handle. I experienced what Dörnyei  mentions (2001), "A simple  but effective way to raise task interest is to connect the topic with things that students already find interesting or hold in esteem."

Since this time the setting was engaging, most students presented their interviews fluently and using confidently the language they can handle now, as well as improvising. Therefore, I experience what Dörnyei mentions (2001 "A simple but effective way to raise task interest is to connect the topic with things that students already find interesting or hold in esteem."

That time, I was able to experience what Dörney mentions in Motivational Startegies in Language Classroom referring that a simple but effective way to raise task interest is to connect the topic with things that students already find interesting or hold in esteem (2001, p. 76)]]> 2016-07-23 23:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sombraism1/iigjyd4w29yu/wish/116854384 One aspect which illustrates that the setting was appealing is that most of the students presented their interviews fluently and confidently.  I assume motivation was fundamental as it allowed them to enjoy the lesson from  beginning to end. Allegedly I experienced what Dórney points out in motivational strategies "A simple but effective way to raise task interest is to connect the topic with things that students already find interesting or hold in esteem." (2001, p 76). mresendiz https://padlet.com/sombraism1/iigjyd4w29yu/wish/116854401
