I am myself an english as a second language; I noticed and i totally agree, that using short-term projects it helped me and the students to comprehend and understand better the context and fuctioning of the course, because of the immediate feedback on evaluating and managing the students progress in understanding and learning the subject matter better!

It is important to find a way to get rid of the stress! I usually take a short nap, or watch TV for at least half an hour, just to release the stress, and tried to forget the bad experiences that I had during the day! For me it works! Another way is to visit the gym and work up!

Or swimming1 if that does not work, tale a warm bath!

I try almost everything on the book to motivate younger inmature students! I used intrinsic, extrinsic motivators! what else, can I use to implement and increase their motivation! In the other hand, my older, more mature students; I did not have to use hardly ever any kind of intrinsic/extrinsic motivators. They were motivated already!...

I totally agree with you, these structures are the key for students success and engage the students to keep them motivated in order to focus, and finish their assigmemts!
