ABSTRACT
One simple but very important way in which you can affect a learner’s feelings for the better is to acknowledge their existence. We all need to be acknowledged and we normally are, in our family, social and work groupings. Even if sometimes we do not like how we are perceived by others, at least we know that they are aware of us. However, in a group of learners there is a strong possibility that we will not be acknowledged, and this can leave us with an unsatisfactory sense of not belonging.
