Summary
Dr. Fischer traces the process of transformation from the neurochemistry of motivation and John Schumann's derivative stimulus appraisal theory, where need comes from relevance, the potential for self and social status, novelty, pleasantness, and, above all, the ability to cope. Technology tools – learning management systems, video and audio recording, use of films and videos for culture study, and relevant applications (apps) – are discussed as means to develop coping with the language and culture, thereby increasing the probability of learner transformation to intrinsically motivated persons able to appreciate and learn from others and continue that process throughout their adult lives.
