This research examines how teaching methods affect student motivation in G.C.E. A/L English, suggesting links to performance declines.
English proficiency is crucial for academic and professional success in Sri Lanka, especially in a globalized world. This study addresses a critical issue in Sri Lankan education: despite English being a compulsory subject from grades 3 to 13, there is a concerning decline in G.C.E. A/L General English exam performance, even when students show strong O/L English performance. The problem is compounded by the fact that A/L General English is not considered for university entrance, contributing to student demotivation. This research investigated how the existing demotivation of students relates to the teaching methods used by teachers.
