Resumo: | The goal of this study is to understand if there is an impact on students’ motivation to learn English as a Foreign Language when mobile technologies are used to support active learning activities that develop students’ oral production competences. The participants were two teachers and their 106 students, divided in 3 classes of the 7thgrade and 1 of the 8thgrade, who were using their own tablets at school. This use wasthe result of a school project for promoting the integration of technology in classroom activities. At the beginning and end of the school year, students answered a questionnaire that contained three dimensions of a motivation indexfrom Gardner’s “The Attitude/Motivation Test Battery”. Following a preliminary analysis ofthese quantitative data, the instrument for qualitative data collection was created–an interview protocol which was applied to the two teachers. After analysing the qualitative data, all the data wasanalysed and the outcomes scrutinized. Thus, this mixed methods research design followed a sequential explanatory strategy, since the latter alloweda further analysis of the initial results. The results revealed a favourable tendency in terms of student motivation, although statistically significant differences were only found in the case of students with initial lower and moderate levels of motivation. Both teachers referred improvementsin student participation and engagement in classroom activities. |

Os participantes foram dois professores e os seus 106 alunos, divididos em 3 turmas de7.º e 1 de8.ºano, que usavam os próprios tablets na escola. Essa utilização resultou de um projeto da escola para promover a integração de tecnologias nas atividades da sala de aula. No início e no final do ano letivo, os alunos responderam a um questionário que continha três dimensões de um índice de motivação, retirado da “Bateria de Testes de Atitude/Motivação” de Gardner. Após uma análise preliminar a esses dados quantitativos, foi criado o instrumento de recolha de dados qualitativos–um protocolo de entrevista aplicado a dois professores. Após a análise dos dados qualitativos, todos os dados foram analisados em conjunto e esses resultados examinados. Assim, este desenho de investigação com métodos mistos seguiu uma estratégia explanatória sequencial, uma vez que os últimos dados permitiram uma análise mais aprofundada dos dados iniciais. Os resultados revelaram uma tendência favorável em termos de motivação dos alunos, embora se tivessem encontrado diferenças estatisticamente significativas apenas no caso dos alunos com níveis iniciais de motivação mais baixos e moderados. Ambos os professores referiram melhorias na participação e envolvimento dos alunos nas atividades em sala de aula.
