ABSTRACT
Over a few decades, motivation has been one of the key areas in second language research. Dörnyei (2009) proposed L2 Motivational
Self System (L2MSS), related to the relationship between motivation and the self-concepts. Several studies were conducted to prove
it, but there are a few experimental studies adopted this concept to develop classroom activities.
The study set off to investigate to what extent self-imaging activities affects the motivation of low-motivated Thai English as a
foreign language (EFL) learners. Self-imaging activities were developed as the treatment with an aim of enhancing the motivation
of the EFL learners. The participants were 60 low-motivated EFL learners, equally divided into experimental and control groups.
They were asked to answer a pre-post 6-point Likert motivation questionnaire, but only the experimental group was provided 10
self-imaging activities. A dependent and an independent t-test were conducted to compare the mean scores, the level of motivation
obtained from the pre-post motivation questionnaire within and between groups. In addition, the participants’ behaviors were scored
and then converted through percentage to examine the motivational behaviors resulted from the treatment.
The study revealed that after the self-imaging activities, the motivation of the experimental group was higher than before the
activities and higher than the control group. This was consistent with the motivational behaviors. This study shed light on the
development of classroom activities related to self-images to promote the motivation in learning English.
