Abstract:
The paradigm shifts in education has offered various research gaps that need investigations. Enthused by this fact, this study was conceptualized to describe the experiences of teachers in motivating their learners in a HyFlex English language instruction. Through basic qualitative research design with ain of an interview protocol, the study discovered the mechanism of teachers in motivating their English language learners to attend their class, participate in class, and accomplish classroom activities. These are coined as ALUKOY: Activating joy in learning, Leveraging meaningful learning, Utilizing the art of questioning, Keeping discussions with rewards, Observing classroom rules, Optimizing pathos, and Yielding outputs through reminders. With these mechanisms, the ALUKOY rhetoric model, a contextualized model, was formulated for teachers in the new normal and beyond. Notably, ‘alukoy’ is an Ilokano word which means to persuade, encourage, or motivate. Clearly, the findings accentuate the importance of communication and rhetoric in achieving and sustaining class attendance, engagement, and accomplishment of task. Hence, educators and learners have to establish open and constant communication towards a shared destiny.
