Thank you both for your help. A lot has been said about motivation in the ESL classroom, but more research needs to be done regarding students with learning disabilities. My interest is mainly with students of younger age. I did a pilot research which showed me there is a lack of motivation among teachers in primary, as well as in secondary, schools and I'd like to explore this matter a little deeper to see what seems to be the cause of that. I'm looking forward to this research and will publish my work hopefully.
