Paragraph 1
A very important motivation problem was found in the level I at Free foreign language
courses, Adelfo Martínez after his observational practices realized that the students were
very unmotivated. Motivation used to be low and all the time they were very distracted.
Andrés Martínez argue that if students are invited to perform role play in class, they will
feel highly motivated. Also, if the students study songs to their liking they will improve
their listening level. In addition, if the teacher had not been so strict in the class, the
students would have felt more comfortable, therefore learning the language would be more
effective. In conclusion, the use of different strategies was considered a good method to
increase education by its students.

Paragraph 2
Andrés Guerrero in his observational practice detected a motivation problem in most of the
students. He considered that this was due to the fact that said course (bilingualism mode)
was carried out by obligation, since it was a requirement to be able to graduate from his
main career. He adds that if teachers will conduct more interactive classes using warm up to
start their classes, students will increase their motivation. Also, the implementation of role
plays. In his opinion, if much more interesting topics were included for them, the students
would have more participation in classes. Finally, Andrés considered as a very effective
strategy the didactic interaction between teachers and students, this capable of achieving a
notable improvement in the school environment and the spirit of the students in the English
class.

Paragraph 3
According to Rosa in her observational practices, level III in the center of foreign
languages a problem was the difficulty of the students to listen to recordings in British
English. Firstly, the problem was that if the students were learning American English, the
recordings must not be in British English. In addition, if the level of the course was level
III, the teachers should not use audios of a higher level since this caused confusion in the
students. Also, an important point was the frustration that these confusions generated.
Finally, Rosa considers that if the classes were more interactive using more didactic
activities and more appropriate audios for the students, the classes would be more effective.
