Enhancing the students’ learning motivation by using instructional media for Thailand’s municipal school

In today's era, the idea of conducting student exchanges and teaching practices overseas continues to grow. In this way, the cooperating countries can share their recent innovations in the field of education. The existence of language barriers, however, may hinder the learning and teaching process in the classroom. Language barriers should be overcome as the information shared between teachers and students might be misinterpreted. This research was carried out as the researcher believe that the existing language barriers could be minimised by increasing students' motivation in the classroom. The aim of this study is to integrate the use of instructional media to enhance the students' learning motivation in Thailand's municipal school. Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the first researcher collected the data using worksheets, still pictures, video recordings, interview guides, and field notes. Having done the data analysis, the researchers concluded that the results meet the three criteria of success, namely classroom atmosphere, students' learning motivation, and the strategy's practicality. The researchers found that the use of instructional media could enhance students' learning motivation and overcome the language barriers in the classroom.
