The panel also reflects on how motivation is not just internal but deeply social, and how teachers can foster it through purposeful interaction and classroom design.  Chapters: 00:00 – Series Overview  02:11 – Guest Introductions & Backgrounds 07:20 – Defining Motivation in Language Learning  10:40 – How the Digital World is Shaping Motivation  17:54 – Advert Break  18:39 – Why Learners Lose Motivation and How To Help  30:00 – How To Correct Learners in the Right Way  34:31 – Practical Tips for Motivating Students  40:52 – Episode Wrap Up  📔For more insights and practical strategies, click here to download the position paper The Human Connection: Motivation and Social Learning - https://oxelt.gl/47lCHbG
