This study explores how motivational strategies used by English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers could increase the motivation of students to learn English as a foreign language. Research on motivation for foreign language learning has shown that teachers should be aware of their actions and behaviors in classroom because it is very likely that they can demotivate learners. Teachers need to motivate their students in order to develop a positive outcome. Motivation is essential because it highly contributes to achievement. Analysis using the Likert Scale showed that learners wanted to learn English through Circle Games. The test outcome showed that the use of Circle Games substantially increased the mastery of the students. It was demonstrated by the experimental class ' mean score, which in the posttest was greater than the control class. The results showed an important distinction between the score of the learners taught using circle games and without Circle Games. The classes were split into the experimental class and class control. In AMI AIPI Makassar, the investigator took two classes of the first year Technical Class students. The research used cluster random sampling. The sample consisted of 50 students in Technical Class A and B. The study population was AMI AIPI Makassar's first year students in the academic year 2018/2019. The study used a quasi-experimental technique. The research's aim was to find out if the use of circle games substantially enhances the vocabulary competence of the learners and to find out whether or not the learners are interested in using circle games. It also provides a strong platform for further research. Findings also propose online and remote learning as a necessity in times of lock downs and social distancing due to COVID-19 pandemic.
This exploratory paper proposes that staff members should use technology and technological gadgets to enhance learning especially during these exceptional times. Findings also reveal that apart from resources, staff readiness, confidence, student accessibility and motivation play important function in ICT integrated learning. Findings reveal that universities worldwide are moving more and more towards online learning or E- Learning. A meta-analysis methodology was adopted for this study and pertinent literature was visited to capture the essence of continued learning during these unprecedented times. It is now clear that society needs flexible and resilient education systems as we face unpredictable futures. The Corona virus has revealed emerging vulnerabilities in education systems around the world. In light of the rising concerns about the spread of COVID-19 and calls to contain the Corona Virus, a growing number of tertiary institutions have shut down in regards to face-to-face classes globally.
