  1. Using Technology to Increase ESL Students’ Motivation in Puerto Rico

  2. The Reasons that lead to low motivation • Political (English is imposed on a very strong Latin American culture) • Educational (Unsuccessful teaching) • Sociolinguistic (No need to use English every day)

  3. We Deal With the Cultural/Political Reason Since: It is related to the way Puerto Rico is thinking about English (based on current research) and this is the primary affective variable that makes our students to want to learn English or not

  4. What Makes English Foreign English is not used to express the deep sense of Puerto Rican identity, every day conflicts, resolutions, disappointments, pain, elation, victories all of which give to an individual a membership to a society and which in the Puerto Rican one, all are expressed in Spanish

  5. What Made English Linguistically Imposed First It was introduced by the United States in the island and there was never a referendum to decide if the people want it as an official or second language. It just has to be studied since K-University
