These were used to motivate and train students to speak up, and also make the students enjoy and active in the process of teaching and learning. (2) Students speaking skill were good; it can be seen from their score for every component, students’ comprehension (4.48), Grammar (4.1), Vocabulary (4.34), Pronunciation (4.18), and fluency (3.88). (3) Icebreaker motivates students to ask and answer teachers’ questions during the process of learning. It also rouses up students’ interest to learn. Based on the finding, the researcher concludes that Icebreaker technique is useful, especially in increasing students speaking skill and also their motivation in teaching and learning process.

Abstract

This article synthesizes insights from a series of longitudinal studies investigating the impact of motivation on foreign language learning. The studies, spanning various contexts and methodologies, collectively reveal a dynamic and fluctuating nature of motivation. Learners' motivation evolves not only over the course of language programs but also within individual classes, influenced by external factors such as the learning environment and the presence of anxiety. The role of educators in shaping positive language learning experiences, strategies to counteract decreasing motivation, and the positive outcomes of integrating content and language learning are discussed. The findings underscore the need for a holistic and adaptive approach to language education that recognizes the multifaceted nature of motivation.

Abstract

Most discussions in the philosophy of mathematics have been dominated by questions concerning the nature of mathematical entities, such as numbers and sets, while comparatively little attention has been given to the applicability of mathematics. Yet mathematics has played an indispensable role in the development of the natural sciences, suggesting that any complete philosophy of mathematics must account for its remarkable effectiveness in describing the physical world. Two major schools of thought, namely Platonism and Nominalism, have largely neglected this issue and seem unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the tremendous success of mathematics in the physical sciences. However, this limitation does not apply  universally across all philosophical approaches. This limitation specifically reflects the weakness of Platonism and Nominalism in connecting mathematical entities to empirical reality. In this article, we investigate the philosophy of mathematics from the standpoint of alternative views, particularly Steiner’s Anthropocentric approach and Franklin’s Aristotelian Realism, which offer promising frameworks for understanding the deep connections between mathematics and empirical reality. This preference for alternative approaches is justified by their potential to explain the effectiveness of mathematics as a tool in science, emphasizing its applicability and alignment with scientific contexts. The result of this study indicates that Aristotelian Realism provides a more robust framework for explaining the empirical success of mathematics compared to other approaches. Aristotelian Realism stands out as a superior philosophy of mathematics, centering its applicability as the core of its philosophical understanding.
