Why Attitude is Important?
Positive attitude helps to cope more easily with the daily affairs of
life. It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and
negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive
changes into your life, and makes them happier, brighter and more successful.
With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life, become optimistic and
expect the best to happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth
developing and strengthening.
Attitude
Attitude can be defined as a set of beliefs developed
in a due course of time in a given sociocultural setting. Although it
necessarily so not determine behaviour but can have some impact on it. It is
studied that positive attitude facilitates learning. If the learners are
reluctant to learn or do not have a positive attitude they do not produce any
result. Language learning is affected by the attitude and motivation.
Motivated, demotivated and amotivated students have different perceptions of
their class, teacher and curriculum. Their perceptions are responsible for
their attitudes. An individual’s perception of the class, perception of the
teacher, peer group, syllabus and awareness for future needs affects their
attitude to language learning.
Teacher’s Attitude
Teachers’ attitude plays an important role in the
present context. They have to change their role from being the controller of
the class to the facilitator. They must accept students’ mistakes as a
necessary part of the learning. They need to help and motivate students to
learn in their daily life. Learners learning outcomes are influenced by the
interpretation of teachers’ interpersonal behaviour. If they believe that the
teacher is associated with them and their learning outcome, the teacher empathize
with them, understands their problems, they react positively and this factor
contributes to their motivation level in the classroom.
