1. Praise students for their good work in ways big and small.
2. Encourage the students to ask questions. Make the class lively and interactive.

6. Maintain eye contact with the students. Move around the class room as you teach. Nod your head to show that you are listening to them.
7. Encourage students to share their ideas and comments. You'll never know what students don't understand unless you ask them.
8. Revision must be done after every chapter. Surprise test, Quiz etc. should be conducted after every chapter.
9. Know your students by their names and use their names as often as possible.
10. Vary your instructional strategies; use lectures, power point presentations, demonstrations, group discussions, case studies, study tours etc.
11. Be expressive. Smile as often as possible. There should be right balance of rigor and humor.
12. Put some excitement into your speech, modulate your voice. Purposeful body movements, gestures etc.
13. Give lots of real-life examples and make a connection between what the lecture material is and real life.

You can use some gamification tools that make feel the students playing rather than learning (Create interactive, team-based games that make the students exploring the topics on their own).
Also effective is grouping students together and set a learing goal which they can archive by methods choosen by their own.
Active and learner-centered pedagogies are indeed a great help to trigger student motivation : problem based and/or project based learning, if you can design a full part of a curriculum. Getting students to work in teams, on tasks that need collaboration is at the heart of these pedagogies.
In a smaller scale, instructional strategies such as reverse pedagogies or flipped classroom are helpful : getting the students to carry out research, or work on a problem set, or readfrom a textbook/watch a video, at home on a specific topic, to then discuss it in class or get to practice what was learned.
Classroom design is also important to maintain student motivation : the SCALE UP project by Robert Beichner can give you interesting insight into what types of classroom settings actually facilitate active, collaborative learning.

One of the best ways to motivate our students is to share our enthusiasm. When we are excited about teaching, they will be much more excited about learning. It’s that simple.
We should tell them success stories and give them real life examples.
Tell the students to speak these five lines to themselves every morning as it was told by Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.
1. I am the best.
2. I can do it.
3. I am a winner.
4. Today is my day.
5. God is always with me.
If they do this they will find a great transformation in themselves.
