Abstract

One of the most noteworthy impacts of the Pygmalion effect is in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom where learners’ performance improves with the increase in expectation. This paper highlights factors that have a direct bearing on the motivation, participation, and overall performance of the learner in language studies as well as the role of the Pygmalion effect. Several studies and theories have been taken into consideration with the aim to articulate how students’ results are affected by teachers’ expectations and how such knowledge could be utilized to formulate better driving conditions for learning. It also identifies a number of the concerns teachers are likely to encounter when applying this principle and provides answers from available research.
