%X In this paper, we report the fíndings of a coUaborative case study where an English teacher in the Spanish secondary school uses humanistic exercises to enhance motivation. Data coUection procedures such as audio-recorded lessons, language tests and motivation questionnaires were used leading to both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The results
indicate the usefiílness of these humanistic activities as key elements in fostering the type of meaningfiíl contextual interaction that promotes high motivation and selectivo attention.
They also generated a sense of community and the emergence of coUaborative relationships.
Therefore, more oral contributions in the target language were observed as leamers
exhibited interest in expressing their feeling and thoughts.
