Evaluating motivation and problem behavior

Here is a summary of your tweets describing ways to evaluate motivation and problem behavior within Module 4.

TEFL students will achieve the goals if they . . .

. . . understand and put into practice the motivation angel concepts.
. . . based on a video about a class, ss will propose different ways to increase motivation improve
      the general atmosphere of the class.
. . . are able to articulate 5 ways in which they are truly motivated (what motivates them to learn)
      and 5 ways in which they plan on motivating their students.
. . . create a story on storybird.com in which they have to solve a challenging academic situation.
. . . create an add or video commercial to promote a specific concept studied within this module.
      After that ss will be asked to start discussing about the drawbacks and the advantages of
      using those strategies, such comments will be posted on a blog.
. . . have their objectives clear. Moreover, complying with proposed tasks is mandatory
      to succeed.
. . . are motivated and come up with accurate and meaningful activities they can actually apply
      in their practice and become aware of the role of every aspect of the class.
. . . observe a class (if the learner isn't a teacher) or make someone video record (if they
      are teachers).
      Then they will write an essay about what they saw in class related to the module and
      the latter ones will do a self-reflection in class.
