How to de-motivate

Think the worst, not the best of your students

Expect the worst – it will happen

Don’t listen

Expect the students to be like you

Remember that these are students, not people

Don’t notice if they get something right

Do pay attention when they make a mistake

Make fun of students who make mistakes

Don’t forget that you are always right

Remember, whatever your students do is not good enough

and therefore in order for a norm to be long-

discussed and accepted as right and proper by

the majority of the group.

1. Say what you want:

‘OK Tania, facing me and paying attention now. Thanks.’

2. If ignored:

‘Tania the instruction is to face me and pay attention.

Thanks.’

‘Tania if you choose not to face me and pay attention you’re

choosing to move to another table.’
