HOW CAN THE INTERMEDIATE PUPILS’ CONFIDENCE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSES BE BOOSTED?

Darwin M Andres

Abstract


This study specifically investigated the different motivational strategies employed by elementary teachers in developing the confidence of their grades 4 to 6 pupils. Descriptive research was utilized in this research. Through the use of the questionnaire adopted from the study of Dornyei and Cheng (2007) and different statistical treatments and tools, this study came up with significant findings. Among the different motivational strategies, recognizing student’s effort was the most frequently used by the respondents in developing the confidence of their pupils. Another, there was a weak positive correlation between the highest educational attainment, salary range and motivational strategies of the respondents while there was negative correlation on their age, gender, and teaching experience. Lastly, there was no difference on the frequency of practice between teachers from public and private schools.
