6. Motivation is …. the dynamically changing cumulative arousal in a person that initiates, directs, coordinates, amplifies, terminates, and evaluates the cognitive and motor processes whereby initial wishes and desires are selected, prioritised, operationalised and (successfully or unsuccessfully) acted out. Dörnyei and Otto (1998) (cited in Chambers, Gary (Ed ). 2001 Reflections on motivation . London: CILT)

24. It all started with English lessons in school. One day the teacher told us: “Bring a bowl to class tomorrow as we are going to have a British breakfast.” That turned out to be Cornflakes and a glass of orange juice, which was a shocking concept to my 11 year old self. It wasn’t what we had at home and opened my eyes to the fact that there were people in the world with different habits, obeying different rules. Roland Mouret On being an Anglophile at heart – interview Times Saturday magazine 26.04.08

25. I hated the school topic because I did not find it interesting and I will probably never need it again. I didn’t like the pencil case items because it wasn’t interesting or very relevant to me. I didn’t like doing the time because I had already done it at primary school. I prefer working outside the text book because you have more freedom so it is fun I liked the work on Euro 2008. We got really creative and made posters. I enjoyed doing the work on the Olympics the most. I loved putting my French skills to the test and learning about the mascots. It made me realise how much French I knew. Motivating learning?

59. Didier Drogba was born in Abidjan in the Ivory Coast on March 11 th 1978. At the age of 5 he left Africa for Brest in Brittany where his uncle, Michel Goba was a professional football player. His parents didn’t want to send their son to France, but his uncle persuaded them that this would give him a real chance to succeed in life Drogba became homesick and returned to the Ivory coast at the age of 8, where he played football every day in the park. His parents both lost their jobs and three years later they sent him back for a second time to live with his uncle. This time he travelled to different clubs with his uncle who suggested that he should play as a forward. In 1991 his parents arrived in France and lived in Vannes. At that time Drogba’s marks at school weren’t good and his parents banned him from playing football for a year. At the age of 15 he went to live with his parents who had settled in a suburb of Paris. He then began began his career as a junior player at the semi-professional club Levallois where he became the star of the team, scoring 30 goals in two seasons. When he left school at the age of 19 he spent two years as an apprentice at the league two club Le Mans. However, his first two years there were marred by injuries and he was physically struggling to cope with the training and match schedule. The high points of his time at Le Mans however, was the birth of the first of his two sons and the start of his career as a professional footballer.
