The Motivational Power of Vision
“Vision is the motivating force behind everything we do. You can never say to someone ‘let’s motivate ourselves’ because motivation is simply a bi-product of the transference of vision. If I can ‘see’ something great, I’ll do anything I can to see it come to pass. Vision gives birth to commitment, enthusiasm, energy and discipline.”

Aya: A Japanese learner of English (L2)
“Well
, as we
practised
together and I really got into it, and my partner was laughing. And I thought,
‘This
is
good’ ...
First we were not close
…, but when we were paired up, and as we practised, she was laughing. And I thought, ‘Wow, she is laughing’. We have become closer and we talk often now. That was a good experience”(Ogawa, in progress)Slide9
