Our process is heavily influenced by Drive by Daniel Pink summary podcast.
Pink details three aspects of motivation:
autonomy
- learners learn when and where good for them
- learners have more control of what topics to focus on than in traditional class model
mastery
- do-feedback-incorporate style leads to mastery
- thinking English is the only way to master English
- learners can see their progress
purpose
- learners can demonstrate their progress
- English is the key to all of humanity's knowledge
