Extrinsic motivators for adults...

 What sort of extrinsic motivators are most commonly used in a college English course. I would love to hear everyone's feedback!

Hi Christine,

One extrinsic motivator could be awarding participation points for contributing to class discussions. Participation will allow for a more engaging and educational lecture and rewarding students with points will motivate them to participate in your lectures. This may also raise interest in the subject matter as a whole.

 

 

Christine,

 I don't teach English but you might want to have the students work in a group and come up with 3 topics they would like to write about. You could then have each group share the topics with the class and then have the class vote on which ones to write a paper on. It might help you to see what students find interesting.
