dc.description	This article is based on the findings of using a teddy bear as a tool to provide a way of increasing pupils ' motivation toward learning by means of using a stuffed animal such as a teddy bear named Ken Bear and relating it to learning a L2. It was developed in hopes to improve not only the motivation of students but give a positive backwash on the institution itself by giving the school a positive interpersonal context. Voluntary students participated in this project, which consisted of taking care of a teddy bear as a friend or playmate for a day or a few days. At the end of such time, the students would write a short entry into the bear ' s diary in English if possible, if not, in Spanish or just a picture with a few words. Results indicated that this project was a huge success based on the opinions of students, teachers and parents. El siguiente artículo esta basado en los resultados obtenidos de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue el utilizar un oso de peluche como una herramienta para incrementar la motivación de los estudiantes hacia el aprendizaje del inglés como segunda lengua. Esta trabajo investigativo fue desarrollado esperando mejorar no solo la motivación de los educandos por medio de este recurso novedoso, sino también darle un giro positivo al ambiente de relaciones interpersonales en la institución donde se realizo este proyecto.
