1. Suggest positive and negative reinforcements and positive and negative

3. 1

You were and English language

teacher and your students have poor
speaking performance.
 POSITIVE
° Students can learn and gain
REINFORCEMENTS
confidence when you are encouraging
them and praising them when they
did well on their task. For example as
an English language teacher it is
important to engage students to these
kind of activities such as activities that them will stand and answer to the questions
deals with speaking, as for me I can
give them a nodding my head and
smiling at them, a genuine smile to
lessen their nervousness in speaking
the English language
NEGATIVE
° As for the negative reinforcement I
can give them an assign task where
they need to recite a poem as that I
gave them a week before the said
presentation, so once they don’t
memorize it correctly they will remain
standing, so in that case if the
students didn’t memorize it they will
remain standing the same as their
classmates who didn’t memorize the
poem, upon watching these scene
they will memorize the poem
correctly and recite it confidently.
POSITIVE
° As an English language teacher it is
necessary for students to speak in English
during the specific hour of that subject, So in
terms of speaking performance, recitation is a
must , so how will it works I’ll simply give a
surprise recitation for all of them. So all of
which I will give, so all of them will have 10
points and when that recit. Starts and if you
fail to answer it -2 points and you will remain
standing but if you mange to answer it
correctly you can sit and get a perfect score .
NEGATIVE
° In a system of rewards, students have
learned to expect the reward and have lost
sight of the value of the task. Since I am an
English language teacher my students are
expected to speak in that particular language
which is English. So in this case to stop them
from having poor speaking performance I will
simply take away the reward for them, such
as giving points, nodding and giving them just
a serious look by taking away the reward they
will realize that they need to do well in
speaking performance to claim again the said
reward.
