Abstract

Neuroscience research shows that motivation is considered to be one of the determining factors for effective learning in any context. In the modern technological era, the motivational effect of the use of technological resources in bilingual settings is an interesting field of research. Considering this assumption, the aim of this study is to analyze whether students are more motivated when learning history and science subjects within the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach if videos are used. This study was conducted on primary school students from third grade to sixth grade. It involved “Ginés de Sepúlveda” and “La Inmaculada” schools in the province of Cordoba in Andalusia, Spain. The sample comprised 85 students. Eclectic research combining a qualitative and a quantitative methodology has been applied in this study. The findings show that the use of videos within the classroom motivates students, by creating a relaxing and comfortable environment in bilingual education settings.
