Özet:

The purpose of this case study is to find out whether the motivation of students in English lessons increases or not using Automata (mechanical toys) and to create a pleasant learning atmosphere. The methods, techniques and achievements are written in the National Ministry of Education Programme for the students of the fifth grade. But these are not expressed in an explanatory way and are also unable to fully meet the needs and expectations of students and teachers. That’s why teachers need to practice different types of activities to make the classes more vibrant, to increase the motivation, interest and excitement of students. This process-focused case study was applied to 12th-class students at the Oilily High School located in the Army in Turkey in the second semester of the educational year. In the language learning and teaching process, it is automatically used as a learning material to increase the motivation of students in English courses. When the units and subjects in the curriculum are processed according to the program, students first create stories related to the subjects, then tell these stories with the drama and finally automatically show and sample a part of the drama. The obtained data was obtained through the Internal Motivation Reserve, Student Interviews, Class Observation List and Student Diaries methods. All the research done and the information acquired has shown that automated learning as a learning material increased the motivation of fifth-class students in English learning.
