Learners have different attitudes, behavior, likes, dislikes and personalities as well. These important things are most commonly considered by some of the teachers. They always see to it that everyone is not taken for granted. Most of the time, it is very hard for teachers to teach their learners, even though they are prepared enough to do that. The teaching materials are ready but the problem is the learner. There are some learners who are very much willing to learn and there are some who are not. This kind of situation is very challenging for the part of the teachers. They should think a possible and better way to catch their learners’ attention and interest.

Psychologist made a study on how to catch the learner’s interest and attention. They found out that proper motivation will really help teachers to have a good result. Motivation can be a form of game, play, song or even interested question. It should be related and connected in the lesson. It should be also suitable according to the level of the learners. If motivation is properly and well applied, the teachers will easily handle their learners. The learners not only learned but also enjoyed the lesson.
