This research explores the perceptions of English language teachers regarding student learning motivation when utilizing instructional media, as well as the challenges they face in integrating technology into the classroom. Drawing upon Keller's ARSC Model, the study examines how instructional media impact students' attention, relevance, satisfaction, and confidence in learning English. Through qualitative analysis, data reveals that teachers recognize the importance of selecting appropriate instructional media to capture students' attention effectively, with adaptations such as using their own voice for pronunciation exercises and integrating social media platforms like YouTube. Additionally, findings highlight the significance of aligning instructional media with students' learning goals and interests to enhance relevance, as well as the importance of authentic assessment to foster satisfaction. Despite these insights, teachers encounter challenges such as navigating internal and external factors, bridging the gap between their expectations and students' capabilities, and addressing limited access to technology and internet connectivity.
