Having spent nearly two years in the P.R.of China,I am usually asked questions about“Howto Speak English”.However,I have been working all this time in a Teachers’College and my mainconcern has been“How to Teach English”.I feel very strongly that teaching a modern language stands apart from the teaching of other aca-demic subjects but my main concern here is to demonstrate the utmost importance of motivation.There are basically three areas which,adequately mastered,make“good teaching”:knowledge,discipline and motivation.If one of these elements were to be taken out,the equation would flounder.
