Abstract
perform better and persist longer than those who are demotivated or amotivated. Motivation provides possibilities for students to develop
their potential abilities and facilitate them to get higher achievement. In terms of education, motivation usually relates to social-cognitive
theories which focusing on elements such as aims and learners’ needs, skills development and self-concept, reason to choose and persist
interest in activities etc. (Lazowski and Hulleman, 2016). So it is of great importance to increase motivation in language learners. This
essay will demonstrate some methods to maximize students’ learning outcomes in terms of off ering extra-curricular activities, changing
timetabling patterns and changing courses design. To what extent will I take innovation and management theories into account when
implementing innovation to the school will be discussed in the end.
