• This study discusses how teachers can motivate their learners to learn in the English classroom. For this purpose, the ARCS model developed by Keller (1983) was used. The model is an application of educational psychological theories to instructional design and offers a repertoire of practical and specific motivational strategies. The participants in this study were 104 Japanese students attending an English conversation class at a nursing school and their teacher. In Study 1, classroom observations, a questionnaire administered to students, interviews with the teacher revealed that the teacher intentionally used many motivational strategies. In addition, the teacher seemed to succeed in changing her classroom design by using motivational strategies. In Study 2, tasks based on the ARCS model were designed and used in the classroom to ascertain the effectiveness of these strategies. The results showed that students seemed to be responsive to the introduction of new tasks, and that they responded especially well to tasks focusing on "Attention" strategies. These findings indicate that the ARCS model is a very useful model for teachers who want to analyze their classes through action research. Moreover, it can be a 'teacher-friendly model' that is effective when teachers use motivational strategies that are suited to their students and observe students' reactions closely.
