Make learners love a matter not a class!

it's been said that a teacher must make his learners love his matter, but some teachers make them love his class instead. So, how can a teacher make his learners love his matter and succeed in it?

Do you mean "content" or "material"?

I think it's more likely that students who like the class will like the material. Even students who like the material may be unhappy if the class is poorly taught.

(But as I often maintain, Lori,) In many respects the class is the material, and the material what makes the people come alive (or rather, to live at least, in [the] English at any rate!). So a teacher who gives enough thought to matters of material and content selection will be ensuring success and smooth-running in other areas and aspects too. If on the other hand the teacher gives the students "duff script", then no number of personalities and "interpersonal" factors and the like (or no small amount of all that) will be able to compensate.
