Motivating Students Through Innovative Materials and Authentic Texts Luiz Carlos Pacheco Maia

Teaching English to intermediate technical/high school students in Brazil, at a Federal Institute of Education, it is not an easy task due to the lack of a foreign language teaching policy. The learners have to attend many other subjects which are part of their regular course, they do not have enough time to study the target language, the teaching material is not connected to their context and they are demotivated. This Project seeks to analyze the teaching and learning context of those students and suggests an option to motivate students and get better outcome.
