The study aims to investigate the intrinsic motivation among L2 in their uses of digital learning platforms during the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, the central questions in the study are to identify the profiles of intrinsic motivation among L2 learners using digital learning platforms, determine gender differences using digital learning platforms, investigate the difference in motivation according to students’ performances, and describe the perceived enjoyment of using digital learning platforms. The study that used a questionnaire to collect data among 72 engineering students found positive intrinsic motivation utilizing the medium to learn English. However, there was insufficient evidence to show a difference between gender using the digital learning platforms with intrinsic motivation. There was also insufficient evidence to prove that grades are associated with students’ intrinsic motivation when the teacher assigned synchronous or asynchronous classroom tasks. Yet, the present study found that publishing works in Canva and writing posts on LinkedIn were among the students’ most preferred digital learning platforms activities. The study is significant to teachers since it assists them in managing classes and discovering the uses of digital learning platforms for a conducive learning atmosphere during the pandemic. It is recommended that teachers be creative in using digital learning platforms to promote collaborative learning among learners.

调查 Covid-19 大流行期间第二语言学习者使用数字学习平台的内在动机

该研究旨在调查在 Covid-19 大流行期间 L2 使用数字学习平台的内在动机。特别是，该研究的中心问题是使用数字学习平台识别二语学习者的内在动机概况，使用数字学习平台确定性别差异，根据学生的表现调查动机差异，并描述感知的享受使用数字学习平台。该研究使用问卷调查在 72 名工科学生中收集数据，发现利用该媒介学习英语的积极内在动机。然而，没有足够的证据表明使用具有内在动机的数字学习平台的性别之间存在差异。当老师分配同步或异步课堂任务时，也没有足够的证据证明成绩与学生的内在动机相关。然而，本研究发现，在 Canva 上发表作品和在 LinkedIn 上发帖是学生最喜欢的数字学习平台活动之一。这项研究对教师来说意义重大，因为它可以帮助他们管理班级并发现数字学习平台的使用，从而在大流行期间营造有利的学习氛围。建议教师创造性地利用数字学习平台促进学习者之间的协作学习。本研究发现，在 Canva 上发表作品和在 LinkedIn 上发帖是学生最喜欢的数字学习平台活动之一。这项研究对教师来说意义重大，因为它可以帮助他们管理班级并发现数字学习平台的使用，从而在大流行期间营造有利的学习氛围。建议教师创造性地利用数字学习平台促进学习者之间的协作学习。本研究发现，在 Canva 上发表作品和在 LinkedIn 上发帖是学生最喜欢的数字学习平台活动之一。这项研究对教师来说意义重大，因为它可以帮助他们管理班级并发现数字学习平台的使用，从而在大流行期间营造有利的学习氛围。建议教师创造性地利用数字学习平台促进学习者之间的协作学习。
