REDEFINING THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF CHARISMATIC LANGUAGE TEACHERS IN CREATING SUPPORTIVE ACADEMIC ATMOSPHERE THROUGH STUDENTS’ MOTIVATIONAL AROUSAL

Abstrak

Charismatic language teachers have considerable potentials to nurture
motivations in their students. They have personal magnetism which
frequently they exhibit through their characters, communication, and how
they develop relationship with their students. Charismatic teachers tend to be
energetic, emphatic, warm, express confidence, love challenge,
communicate vision, develop warm communication, put concern, trust, be
inspiring and motivational. These characters allow them to be role model and
inspire their motivation to their students. Their trusting behaviour also can
lead to the creation of supportive classroom climate since supportive learning
situation needs sense of autonomy. By having this sense of autonomy,
students can voice their perspectives, beliefs and finally develop their
autonomy self-regulation. By using their personal aura, charismatic language
teachers can stimulate their students’ inner motivation.
