The Impact of Learning Motivation on CharacterNurturing and Competitive GameBased Item Bank Practicing System In Taiwan, the traditional approach in English learning can be experienced as dull and boring. As a result, it leads to a decline in learning motivation and learning effectiveness. Some scholars have pointed out that adding games into learning could enhance the learneru0027s motivation. However, different game strategies may have different effects on learnersu0027 learning motivation. Therefore, this study explored how different types of systems (a characternurturing game, a competitive game and traditional practice without games) impacted learnersu0027 motivation when blending those systems into learning. In order to study this issue, the researchers first developed three systems which were a characternurturing gamebased item bank practicing system, a competitive gamebased item bank practicing system and an item bank practicing system without games. Then the researchers invited 125 firstgraders from a junior college in northern Taiwan taking an English course, and conducted a nineweek teaching experiment. The results showed that the learners of the competitivegame group had significantly lower confidence and satisfaction than the learners of the characternurturinggame group.
