En una era cada vez más marcada por la innovación digital, el aula tradicional se enfrenta al reto de satisfacer las necesidades motivacionales del alumnado actual. Este estudio investiga el impacto de la integración de herramientas de tecnología educativa en la motivación y participación del alumnado en clases de inglés para fines específicos (English for specific purposes [ESP]) en una universidad saudí. Guiada por la teoría de la autodeterminación (TAD), la investigación se centra en tres plataformas de uso común –Kahoot!, YouTube y Blackboard– y examina cómo cada una contribuye a satisfacer las necesidades psicológicas del alumnado en cuanto a autonomía, competencia y conexión. Mediante un diseño de metodología cualitativa, los investigadores desarrollaron una lista de verificación observacional semiestructurada y realizaron entrevistas con el alumnado para evaluar su participación y sus percepciones sobre el aprendizaje potenciado por la tecnología. Los resultados revelan una respuesta muy positiva: el alumnado manifestó mayor entusiasmo, atención sostenida y una mayor participación en actividades que incluían cuestionarios gamificados, contenido multimedia y mecanismos de retroalimentación en línea. El estudio presenta la matriz de motivación tecnológica para el aprendizaje en el ámbito del inglés (ESP tech-motivation matrix [ETMM]), un marco práctico que relaciona tecnologías específicas con resultados motivacionales, ofreciendo a los educadores información útil para fomentar entornos de aprendizaje centrados en el estudiante y con apoyo digital. El estudio recomienda una mayor adopción institucional de la tecnología educativa y una formación docente específica, especialmente para educadores con experiencia digital limitada, para cerrar la brecha entre la instrucción tradicional y las necesidades del alumnado actual.
