I do agree with a majority of the assumptions of ESL in the mainstream. The assumptions say that overall it is up to the teacher to provide some stipulation and motivation for the students to want to learn. Things that are affecting them directly and relate to what they learn will help them the most with learning. I have always believed that no matter how good the teacher is, there will be times that if the student is not motivated, there is no way to getting through to them.
What were your initial reactions after reading the article about gaming in the classroom?
Using games in the classroom to motivate your students to learn can be very helpful. As a young student, I used to learn a lot of material such as vocabulary and mathematics by playing games on the computer. I did notice though that I would hurry to do my work as quickly as possible to play on the computer which wasn't effective because I would rush through my work instead of concentrating.
