Motivation to learn English plays a curial role in
students’ performance, achievement and attendance. This indicates that
instructors should put effort to motivate their students. The aim of this
article is to find out the instructional practices that motivate students to
learn English most. For that reason, ARCS motivational model (Keller, 2010) was
applied throughout ten weeks. By means of this model several motivational
tactics and strategies were inserted to the classroom instruction and students
were asked to write weekly comments about them at the end of each week. Using a
qualitative research design, comments from 30 students were collected and
analyzed. As a result, we have reached the conclusion that students’ comments
can be evaluated under two headings. The first heading includes comments
related to classroom instruction and the second one is related to instructor
behavior and we tried to explain it in detail in this article.
