1.1 Context for the Research
- Primary school teachers
- Public schools in Rural Punjab(India)
- English as a Second Language
- Motivation affecting teachers to use EMI in
English writing class towards achieving students
higher proficiency.

1.2 Research Problems

1.3 Research Aim
• To investigate that how to motivate non-native English
teachers to use EMI in English writing class to increase
students proficiency.

1.4 Research Questions
1. What demotivates the teachers to use EMI in English writing
classes in rural Punjab’s public schools?
2. How teachers can be motivated to use EMI in English classes
in public primary schools?

When perceived in terms of demotivating factors which become barriers for
the teachers especially in the rural areas to using the English language,
include various aspects. As seen from a study by (), the teachers in such
schools treat English as a foreign language towards which they possess a
distinctive term.
3. Discussion

They are distinctive towards the nature of the language, as well as
towards the methodology of the teaching thus raising problems in the
teacher-learner relationship. Another study showed that the teacher
expectation in the classroom also becomes a demotivating factor.

The teacher expectations are often an accurate assessment of
student ability and expectations do affect teacher-student interaction
and student learning outcomes, but as the teachers are lacking the
accuracy they are often demovitated. A study showed that there is a
lack between the correlation between the teacher and the learner in
the rural schools which makes the teachers demotivated.

A recent study showed that in order to improve the use of English as
the medium of instruction the teachers in most of the primary schools
needs to be screened for their language abilities first. Those who will
succeed in such screening test will be able to gain to confidence
about using English as the medium of instruction.
