"Motivational Practice provides a rich account of how teachers who are successful in motivating their students negotiate classroom relationships, and create engaging learning opportunities. It sheds light on how motivation emerges through teacher-student relationships, and in classroom activities. Drawing on examples of motivational practice from the Motivational Teaching in Swedish Secondary English (MoTiSSE) project, the book will help in-service and preservice teachers of English to develop perspective-taking skills that can enable them to teach in ways that students find meaningful, relevant and engaging."--Back cover.
