Learning a second language requires a “positive” classroom atmosphere. Encouraging students’ involvement by providing positive reinforcement to all students who participate in the learning process is really important. A teacher should be creative in thinking activities that provide positive reinforcement for participation helping students to interact with the material in order to retain the information and become engaged in learning giving them the opportunity in the class to correct or add to the information presented. Using group activities can be one of the best ways to involve students in learning creating a more active learning. Students report greater enjoyment of the learning process when they are more involved in the learning process. This has a positive effect on the language teaching setting in increasing motivation and success. Encouragement and praise should be used by language teachers to make their classrooms more inviting and conducive to learning. We are teaching pupils of different level of general language competence and finding ways to keep all of them motivated is a big challenge for a teacher nowadays. Through this presentation I will share with you ideas on how we can increase students’ engagement in the classroom.
