Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of debate activities on motivating EFL learners to improve their speaking skills. Despite extensive research into EFL debate, very few studies have examined the relationship between motivation and debate activities. To delve deeper into the motivational value of debate activities, a classroom debate was conducted to ascertain whether there was any positive change in students' motivation as well as their attitude prior to and after participating in the activity. To this end, 17 English Major students from Hokkaido University of Education answered pre- and post-debate questionnaires. The results showed that despite the nervousness and anxiety students felt before performing the debate, their motivation to speak English increased considerably. Furthermore, students maintained a positive attitude towards debate before and after their engagement in it in the classroom. These findings will hopefully encourage English teachers to integrate debate activities into their lesson plans and make use of them in the classroom.
