There are various mechanisms by which
teacher enthusiasm may facilitate higher levels of intrinsic motivation.Teacher
enthusiasm may contribute to a classroom atmosphere of energy and enthusiasm
which feeds student interest and excitement in learning the subject
matter. Enthusiastic teachers may also lead to students becoming more
self-determined in their own learning process. The concept of mere exposure
indicates that the teacher's enthusiasm may contribute to the student's
expectations about intrinsic motivation in the context of learning. Also,
enthusiasm may act as a "motivational embellishment", increasing a
student's interest by the variety, novelty, and surprise of the enthusiastic
teacher's presentation of the material. Finally, the concept of emotional
contagion may also apply: students may become more intrinsically motivated by
catching onto the enthusiasm and energy of the teacher.

A teacher's
role may vary among cultures. Teachers may provide instruction in literacy and

the ideal life can be learned from a teacher.
Teachers that exhibit enthusiasm are more likely to
have engaged, interested and energetic students who are curious about learning
the subject matter. Recent research has found a correlation between teacher
enthusiasm and students' intrinsic motivation to learn and vitality in the
classroom. Controlled, experimental studies exploring intrinsic motivation
of college students has shown that nonverbal expressions of enthusiasm, such as
demonstrative gesturing, dramatic movements which are varied, and emotional
facial expressions, result in college students reporting higher levels of
intrinsic motivation to learn. But even while a teacher's enthusiasm has
been shown to improve motivation and increase task engagement, it does not
necessarily improve learning outcomes or memory for the material.
