The aim of this essay is to examine how digital media are used during English teaching in Sweden for students in grades 4-6. The reason is that students in those grades practice a lot of English out of class, especially when they use different digital medias such as computer games, TV-shows, YouTube etcetera. Activities with digital medias is something students does for pleasure, driven by intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is reached when three basic psychological needs are fulfilled; autonomy, competence and relatedness. For this reason, a text analysis has been done on tasks in English coursebooks and also interviews with teachers in grades 4-6 to find out in what extent students have the opportunity to work with digital medias and how these fulfills the psychological needs that lead to intrinsic motivation. The results shows that tasks in the examined coursebooks rarely deals with use of digital medias. When digital medias are included, the tasks can fulfill the psychological needs. The interviews indicates that teachers include digital media in teaching, but there is often a lack of autonomy for students.
