This article reports on the development of research that sought to increase the motivation of a group of students of English at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, in Bogotá, by means of the design and implementation of adapted material that responds to the necessities and profile of the students. The project started through the application of questionnaires completed by students and teachers regarding their perception towards the material they were currently using. Based on the results we obtained, we started with the design and the implementation of the material. During and after the implementation we again asked students to complete questionnaires in order to obtain their perceptions toward the new material. One of the conclusions was that adapting material can positively influence students’ motivation when learning a foreign language.
