Abstract

This investigation entitled “Participatory techniques: their influence in students´ motivation towards English lessons“is about the implementation of some participatory techniques in the English lessons of sixth grade in order to increase motivation in the students. The initial diagnose allowed to determine the insufficiency of motivation in English lessons due to: The lack of English teacher in front of the class from third grade till sixth, the students preferences to other subjects, the insufficient knowledge by teachers about motivating the students in class. Several methods were used to attain this goal, like: observation, experimentation, survey, analysis of documents etc, and some others such as analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, percentage calculation and others, with the application of these methods the author hopes to make a deeper analysis of the task of motivation in the students and offers a fast effective and economical solution to this problem.
