Central to the needs-focused approach is the satisfaction of three crucial psychological needs – the need to belong, to feel empowered and to have fun; the premise being that if these needs are being satisfied by the teacher, the pupils will feel less inclination to satisfy them themselves.

The need for FUN includes curiosity, interest, grow and learn, adventure, amusement, surprise, variety.
The need for EMPOWERMENT includes recognition, freedom, autonomy, achievement, contribution, competence and the need to BELONG includes feeling accepted, valued, appreciated, loved, needed and connected.
Effective teachers satisfy these needs as a matter of course – either consciously or unconsciously by the way they respond to pupils, by the atmospheres they create and by the activities they provide. When the needs are being met, behavior ceases to be such an issues as pupils have less need to misbehave.

Led by experts in the field of lesson delivery and pedagogy this course arms you with the strategies, skills, activities and resources needed to ensure you satisfy needs and become a more effective teacher of English.
