Descripción:This article reflects upon the usage of oral encouragement as an extrinsic affective strategy in an English for specific purposes course for chemists and chemistry students in a university setting. Facilitated by action research as a case study, this paper reports on how oral encouragement increases motivation and thus, oral participation in the classroom for a low-intermediate student. As a side effect, oral encouragement in the form of praise also fostered the student’s self -confidence. Finally, it was found that classroom management played an important role along with oral encouragement and self-confidence in order to increase oral participation.
