Abstract
This study explores the relationship between the use of songs and videos as instructional resources in order to enhance the level of motivation and the rate of participation of second year students learning English as a foreign language at Batna University. Besides, it focuses on the crucial role of the teacher in providing a favorable classroom atmosphere to facilitate the learning process. It aims to determine whether the use of songs and videos, as instructional materials, helps to enhance learners’ motivation and rate of participation during oral expression classes. It is, hence hypothesized that there is a close relationship between teaching materials, students’ motivation, and students’ rate of participation. This main hypothesis is explicitly restated in three detailed hypotheses: when learners listen to music and songs, they are more motivated and the rate of classroom participation is higher; when they watch videos, they are more motivated and the rate of their participation is higher; and, whenever they are highly motivated, they participate intensively in the classroom. Three questionnaires were administered to a sample of five oral expression teachers, 120-second year students before the experiment, and to the fifteen students who participated in the experiment sessions, as a postexperiment questionnaire. Structured classroom observation grids were used for measuring participants’ motivation and participation. During the experiment sessions, the participants were exposed to different instructional resources including classical materials as opposed to an alternative treatment including songs and videos. The comparison of the obtained motivation and participation scores, using ANOVA, statistic correlation analysis and the postexperiment questionnaire, confirmed the formulated hypotheses of the study. Moreover, after combining the obtained quantitative and qualitative findings, it is determined and also recommended that the use of songs and videos as teaching materials, within a favorable classroom environment provided through the teacher’s attitudes, can considerably motivate students and enhance their participation during oral expression courses
