Abstract

Motivation is one factor that is very influential in achieving the target language. The purpose of this study was to find out the level of motivation in learning English among second-year students in the English Department of IAIN Bengkulu, and to find out the dominant type whether integrative or instrumental motivation. This study uses descriptive quantitative analysis. The technique used in collecting data is questionnaires and interview. The modified motivational survey of 20 items adapted from Gardner's Attitude / Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) was carried out. Data is presented statistically using percentage, frequency, arithmetic mean, and standard division. The results showed that the mean score of integrative motivation (3.83) was higher than the mean score of instrumental motivation (3.64). However, the overall mean motivation of 3.73 was considered a high level of motivation. The results of this study indicate that the majority of students learn English because of integrative motivation. They learn English to understand the people and culture they have. Based on the findings of this study, some of the implications of learning relevant and useful motivations are recommended for increasing student motivation.
