What Motivates Adult CSL Learners? Authentic Materials & Tasks!

According to the study we discussed today, the factor that can most effectively arouse adult CSL (Chinese as a Second Language) learners' enjoyment is the use of authentic materials and tasks. This is because authentic materials and tasks provide learners with real-world language use situations and contexts, which increases their motivation and engagement in the learning process. Authentic materials and tasks also help learners develop their language skills in a more meaningful and practical way.
