- Abstract
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) integration in the classroom in order to make the learning process interesting and meaningful to students is inevitable. It is a challenge for elementary teachers to engage their students in various activities in classroom and to cultivate their willingness in learning new language. This quantitative study attempts to analyze the effectiveness of ICTs integration in fostering students’ motivation in learning English. A two-set questionnaire was distributed to students from five private elementary schools in Manado City, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The collected data were analyzed for descriptive and inferential by using statistical tool, such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and simple regression. Findings show that ICTs integration was effectively implemented and students’ motivation was high. Moreover, the simple regression analysis revealed that ICTs integration significantly impacts students’ motivation in learning English. The results indicate that students’ high motivation in learning English resulted when teachers integrate the use of ICTs effectively. Based on the results, it is recommended that students are involved in technology-based learning activities daily, teachers are encouraged to join ICT training program regularly, and schools provide sufficient ICT facilities for all teachers and students.
