3) The teacher must show same interest in every student as far as possible;
4) The teacher has to make his classes interesting;
5) The teacher must offer a good model as the target language user.
6) The teacher must be a good technician: his students should understand what
is wanted of them, be able to pronounce correctly, and be stimulated into
activity in the target language.” [11]
From what has been mentioned above, we can draw the conclusion that teacher plays a significant role in motivating students' learning. So a well–trained teacher should make his classes interesting, be fair to his student and be a good language user.
3.1.1 Helping poor learners set their own goals
One fundamental principle of motivation is that people work harder for goals that they themselves set than for goals set for them by others. So firstly teachers should have them set up short-term and proper goal.
In the first place, teacher should help students set their short-term goal. That is, the task which they have to finish is the short-term task. For example, a student might set a minimum number of books she expects to read at home or a score she expects to attain on an upcoming quiz. At the next goal-setting time the teacher would discuss student attainment or failure of goals and set new goals for the following period. During these times the teacher might help students learn to set ambitious but realistic goals and would praise them for setting and then achieving their goals.
In the second place, a rewarding learning goal must be regarded by the learner as being not too easy, nor too difficult. Or the learner may tend to withdraw from it. As we know, the goal which is too easy will become boring soon. To avoid this, a teacher needs to make learning goals a little challenging, but not discouraging. Challenging goal offers students, to explore the unknown, and to activate thinking, which is expected to bring about a satisfaction of achievement.
So, a teacher must be careful not to set a goal so difficult as to cause a feeling of frustration. In that case poor students may soon give up the hope completely. To present the learning content at the right level of students requires a teacher to be able to make an appropriate analysis of the teaching material before each class and adjust the inappropriate items in accordance with the poor students’ ability.

3.1.2 Building up their confidence
Interest by itself is not always sufficient to engage learning. For example, children may be interested in learning to swim, but because they are frightened of the water, or believe they cannot learn, they do not try. The motivational effects of interest may be disrupted by fear or a lack of belief that a goal can be attained. As a consequence, building confidence, or a belief in one's power to affect outcomes, is an important issue for teachers to stimulate students' interest.
(i ) Guiding them calmly to face the failure
Life is made up of success and failure. No one is always successful and also no one is always a failure. So the teacher should guide the poor students to realize that it doesn't make much difference whether they are successful or not. The most important thing is simply what they should do to face success or failure. If they lose heart when they fail, or show arrogance when they succeed, they'll never succeed. Instead, they should face it bravely and keep up the courage when they fail, then the failure can be changed into a success. Furthermore, they should remember that pride always goes before failure and sticks to working hard when they succeed, then they can make even greater progress. Failure is the mother of success. Therefore, it is very important for the teacher to guide the poor students calmly to face the failure.
