TEST 2 – Complete the text with the correct form ( verb or noun) of the words in capitals.

Students are motivated to learn by a

variety of factors. Some look for a sense

of personal 1______________ while

others enjoy being 2_______________

as a member of a learning group.

Teachers sometimes make the mistake

of over-praising students. It is better to

show honest 3_____________ rather

than a mechanical or exaggerated

response. If a student makes a mistake,

4____________ responding by using

expressions such as ‘I understand why

you say that, but…’. Your aim should be

to 5__________ students to take risks

and not to fear that they will be

6___________ for getting something

wrong.

A teacher also needs to be seen to be

fair and not show any 7____________

for one student over another. A lesson

should be a 8_____________ encounter

for every student in the class.

However, always remember that some

factors are outside your control. For

example, a student’s worries about a

family issue may be 9______________

with his or her concentration. In this

situation, the best 10______________

is to give students the opportunity to

contribute but not to force them if they

don’t want to.
