CRISTINA ELIZABETH CÓNDOR CAMALLE CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.
WHAT IS ‘‘MOTIVATION’’?Motivation is the attitude towards the
accomplishment of a task. It involves a combination of effort, wishes to
learn and a positive attitude. Because of that, attitude and motivation are directly related.
We can distinguish
between two types of
motivation

Internal Motivation
Children are more motivated to learn English and retain
knowledge when presented with music, games and total
physical response activities.

environment.
