I teach in an urban public school. 98% of my students get free or reduced price lunch, 10% are homeless, and few of them could consider ever purchasing their own school materials. All of them, however, are concerned with getting good grades, attending college, and specifically for my class, they want to learn to speak French. Every day they tell me they want to practice speaking more, and they want to understand more when people speak to them in French. They are intrinsically motivated to learn foreign languages, and in doing so they can only advance themselves in their other subject areas.
