Enhancing Intrinsic Motivation for Humanistic Education: Taking an Inside Look at German Language Education in the Thai Context

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to cast light on the concept of how the motivation of German language learners in Thailand can be intrinsically enhanced in terms of building culture of literacy. In this regard, the following aspects should be considered: 1) What do German teachers have to take into account when designing activities to create self-motivated learners in German classes?; 2) What kind of effective teaching tasks can be employed based on the concept of Humanistic Education?; and 3) What practical recommendations can be provided to humanistic teachers or educators concerning effective language pedagogy?
