Writing A Report On A Interview By Ms. Ann Newman

As an essential task to write a report based on a conducted interview, I had previously managed to interview Ms. Ann Newman, who is an instructor in the English Department at Gulf University of Science and Technology. Ms. Ann Newman teaches English Composition Writing, and has a prior experience dealing with students, and how to always keep them motivated to learn and achieve their goals. The main purpose is to discuss motivational strategies that are applicable to increase student motivation, and gather beneficial informational data that is to be implemented in a classroom. Furthermore, Ms. Newman stated that she had served as an English instructor for more than 30 years for different age groups, yet she still seems to manage finding the top

The author of this report who conducted the interview, asked Ms. Newman about her point of view specially, because every instructor has a different view point on how well they know their students if they are motivated or not. To demonstrate, Ms. Ann Newman states that, “ knowing if a student is motivated is by the look on their face, and showing up to class shows their desire to learn. if the students do not do their assignments, and constantly do not read what I have sent them clearly indicates the lack of motivation they possess.” Hence, “There are three things to remember about education. The first one is motivation. The second is motivation. The third one is motivation.” – Terell H. Bell (Ames, 1990)
Lastly, one of the most crucial perceptions of psychology is motivation. Without enough motivation, students with the highest outstanding achievement still needs a push and might not have long-lasting ambitions. Correspondingly, having suitable teaching and learning cannot be on their own without the presence of motivation. (Guilloteaux and Dornyei,
