Library's collection Library's IT development CancelLanguage learning motivation research, mostly focusing on the learners,
has developed rapidly nowadays. In addition, motivation has been proved to bring
positive effects for learners and included in one of the significant factor that can
affect the success of second language learners in acquiring second language. For
those reasons, this small-scale study tries to investigate the language learning
motivation that the students have, represented by Language Education Program
(PPB) intermediate and advance students. Besides, it also wants to know what
type of motivation that most of the students have and what factors affect that.
The way the writer collects and analyses the data are descriptive
quantitative. The quantitative data is performed according to the procedures
established by Oxford (1990), whereas structured interview is conducted to elicit
the qualitative data. The findings show that most of PPB? s Intermediate and
advance students have high motivation. It also proves that there is no relation
between the score that the students get and the degree of their motivation. They
tend to have higher extrinsic motivation than intrinsic motivation. Then, they
mostly have External Regulation as their types of motivation, followed by
Identified Regulation, Value, Expectancy of Success, Introjected Regulation, and
Integrated Regulation. The results may imply that language-learning motivation is
important; thus, we have to develop them.
