How FSL Teachers’ Methods Will Improve Adult Learners’ Competencies from the
Participants’ Perspectives The multifaceted concept of motivation is utilized to identify suitable methods for improving adult learners' competencies. In learning foreign languages, motivation has significant effects on the outcomes of the learning process. It acts as the basis for determining a student's willingness and desire to commit and be actively engaged in the learning process (Alshenqeeti, 2018). Ideally, a teaching method should be designed to encourage adult learners to think more positively since they are motivated to pursue their own goals in learning French. The levels of motivation will vary amongst the students and are classified as low, medium, or high. The teaching strategy should thus strive to increase the motivation levels of all students. This will be achieved if the method can address the range of factors responsible for demotivating these adult learners. A method will also merit selection if it considers teachers the primary and most important source of students' motivation. In this regard, it should clarify to teachers that they are responsible for working around the students' attitudes to ensure that they are motivated to learn French. Such a method will require teachers to concentrate on two main areas. Firstly, the teacher should strive to establish an appropriate relationship with each student. Cultivation of these relations is part of student engagement as it allows teachers to know their students and how to interact with them (Łockiewicz, 2019). This will, in turn, enable the teachers to prepare lessons adequately aligned to meet the needs of students. Secondly, the teacher should focus on the specific needs and interests of every student. To improve adult learners' competencies, teachers ought to be obliged to provide students with the necessary motivation to attain oral proficiency in FSL. Ideally, such a method is a 68 strategy to prepare adult learners to engage in proficient communication and expression using French. Such engagement should be witnessed in several situations that include addressing unfamiliar, work-related, and sensitive issues and articulating intricate and subtle concepts. Oral proficiency in such scenarios can be achieved when adult learners are interested in learning French and perceive the importance of speaking it (Zhang et al., 2020). This, in turn, depends on the FSL teacher's ability to employ a communicative approach that can provide these learners with the motivation to remain dedicated and committed to learning FSL. Achieving oral proficiency in FSL is a developmental process that grows over time as adult learners progress to different stages. At the end of this process, adult learners should be able to talk about conditional and hypothetical ideas in addition to supporting or refuting opinions. Despite the possibility that there may be slight differences in vocabulary, grammar, and/or intonation, they should be able to express themselves in the same manner as native French speakers do. Attainment of oral proficiency is irrefutably manifested when the adult learners can comprehend hypothetical questions or abstract and complex ideas using French. Download 0.77 Mb.
