basis of the textbook Strategies for motivating and managing the Chilean classroom
by examining the main motivational theories and approaches present in it. It can be
characterised as an exploratory and descriptive study and takes a qualitative form
based and supported by observations of teaching activities. Strategies for motivating
and managing the Chilean classroom was written in 2011 by Martha Epperson and
Michelle Rossman, two English language experts from Georgetown University.
The objective of Epperson’s book is to propose strategies and activities to put
into practice in Chilean language classroom in order to manage and motivate the
students to learn the English language. Each section of the book contains
suggestions and activities to apply in an English language classroom in Chile. The
authors claim that all the activities and strategies in the textbook were proved in the
Chilean language classrooms context up to forty-five students. The textbook was
analysed using a taxonomy elaborated considering the four historical periods of the
research of motivation and the most important contemporary theories of motivation
according to Dörnyei (2001, 2011). The results of the study showed a predominance
of the social approaches in the activities analysed even though it was found that the
theoretical basis for motivation were not indicated explicitly in the textbook.
