Default Re: lack of motivation

I agree with banderas.

I think there are other possible reasons that need to be considered.

difficult or boring materials, difficult aspects of grammar etc.

Above all, everybody needs some senses of achievement to not lose motivation.

Sometimes it helps when pupils have a say in the content and/or direction of the lesson.

Besides, I noticed that the family background plays a central role. But that is only relevant regarding younger learners.
