Motivational and Practical Frameworks for Teaching English to Weak Learners: An Empirical Study

Abstract

Teaching English to weak learners poses significant challenges, as traditional methods often fail to engage and motivate these students. This study explores the effectiveness of integrating motivational and practical teaching frameworks to enhance language acquisition and confidence among struggling learners. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research involved 150 high school students, with pre- and post-tests measuring proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The intervention combined goal-setting, positive reinforcement, and real-world contextual learning, resulting in substantial improvements, particularly in speaking and listening skills. Qualitative feedback from students and teachers emphasized increased engagement and self-assurance, validating the impact of these strategies. The findings suggest that implementing such frameworks can significantly transform language education for weak learners, offering valuable insights for educators seeking more effective teaching approaches.
