The present paper aims to discover the role of motivation in EFL teaching and learning,
specifically, in the Spanish context. The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) Analyse
students’ motivation in the EFL classroom comparing learners’ attitudes in two different
groups, humanities second year bachillerato and artistic second year bachillerato; 2)
propose several activities which will motivate students in the classroom. Therefore, we
will see a more appealing and innovative teaching unit which fosters learners’
motivation and participation in the EFL classroom. Taking into account teachers’
complaints in secondary schools, the English language has suffered several changes in
methodology. According to them, students had a passive role in class due to traditional
methodologies but nowadays students are more active and collaborative with the arrival
of communicative approaches. Nevertheless and despite these changes in methodology,
oral skills remain poorly treated in class and students feel demotivated because they do
not have too many opportunities to practise the language with real life situations. On the
contrary, teachers have been providing students with lots of grammar units
decontextualised and teaching the four skills through non authentic materials and
outdated resources.
The problem that most of secondary teachers face is the lack of enthusiasm students
present when they learn a foreign language, more specifically, English. Taking
advantage of the educational improvements that have appeared in the English field these
days, teachers should be able to choose the best resources and methodologies in order to
foster students’ motivation. All these statements will be proved throughout this study by
theoretical research, attractive proposals and authentic data taken from a real secondary
school. [-]
