In this episode 100, I am delighted and honoured to be joined by esteemed researcher, psychologist and co-founder of Self-Determination Theory, Dr. Richard Ryan.Dr. Ryan’s work has been cited over 510,000 times and his work with Edward Deci on intrinsic motivation and Self-Determination Theory has changed the way educators understand raising motivation in the classroom. Dr. Ryan provides us with detailed, insightful perspectives on the current research around raising Self-Determination Theory as well as how it applies in the language acquisition classroom. An absolutely fantastic discussion with a researcher that has changed the world of education. This is a must listen for all teachers.
