    currently prepping at the mo for an irish interview tomorrow....one of the things I would say is there is a lack of motivation amongst students regarding the language because they would belive it to be outdated and not relative to real life.....I would chat about how I motivate students by basing classes in real-life contexts e.g. when studying the topic of 'An Teach' with junior cycle students, I give them a task such as finding an advertisement on daft.ie from their locality, imagine they were an estate agent selling it to a customer, and using the information from the ad, set up a role-play task between students, one as agent and one as customer.
    Real-life contexts (partly) solves this motivational problem.
