DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT IN EFL CLASS
Abstract
This paper is aimed at explaining why the use of positive reinforcement in EFL class could promote and develop the students’ positive behavior. This paper is a library research in which the data were collected by analyzing articles, papers and journals. Positive reinforcement can be used in the teaching and learning processes to make the students behave appropriately in the class. The use of positive reinforcement in the classroom is important because a student who experiences positive reinforcement often shows a better willingness to demonstrate positive behavior. The discussion covers the reasons why using positive reinforcement is important, how it can manage the students’ behavior, the implementation, the anticipated impact, and the way to overcome it.
