Digital media has found its natural place in schools all around the world. Especially for its capacity to vary the teaching and to increase students' motivation. This small-scale national study aimed to investigate if and how Swedish primary school teachers use digital tools in form of motion media in their EFL teaching. It also investigates the teachers’ motives for using this kind of teaching asset. A mixed method approach was applied to gather information for this paper, in which interviews and an online questionnaire was conducted by participants from all around Sweden. 40 teachers responded to the questionnaire, and five teachers were interviewed. The results show that Swedish primary school teachers are frequent users of motion media in their EFL teaching, and that YouTube is a popular source for media. Their motives for using this form of teaching are that it is fun for the students, it brings variation to the lessons, and it provides models of authentic language to the classroom. The study also shows some drawbacks and challenges with the use of motion media in language teaching, for example choosing proper materials. However, more research in the area is needed, particularly in Sweden’s lower grades.
