Motivations of Learning

Lsat week we talked about some definations of learning. For example, behavior defination(that is M&M theory) and cognitive defination. These two definations are totally diffrent. In my opinion, i think "cognitive defination" is more useful and realistic. For I think that learning a language cannot just rely on rewards. After all, we should learn it by ourselves, EFL teachers can only motivate students' interest in learnig, but cannot decide whether students like it or not. Therefore, if i am an EFL teacher, maybe i will give little rewards to my studnts in some time, but not always. I will teach them that they should gave a correct attitude toward learning, they should rewarded by themselves.
