Mind the Gap: Age-Related Differences in Students' Perceptions of English Foreign Language Teacher and Motivation
The present paper addresses the agree issue in the context of learning English as a foreign language in instructional settings. Our attention has been directed towards the examination of potential differences in students' motivation in relation to age. A total of 592 participants attending higher grades of elementary school participated in the research. The results have shown that students' perception of English language teacher characteristics and competences varied in relation to age. Although elementary school students perceive their language teacher to be the most competent in the area of instructional competences, younger students seems to put more emphasis on teacher's personal characteristics over professional competences. The study also indicated differences in motivation, with an accentuated decline in relation to students' age. The study offers a valuable information for teachers and policy makers and emphasizes the need for further adjustment of teaching methodology to various age groups.
