    The article that I chose to read was, The Effects of After-School Tutoring on an Individual ELS Student, written by Amanda Donahue (2002).

Since motivation is one of the main reasons ELLs drop from school, Ms, Donahue wanted to see if they had motivation and praise the students would increase their grades and performance, and essentially graduate from High School. I chose this article because it felt close to the issue that I am exploring in my action research project, the motivation for Long Term English students and see if I could implement it as…
