Abstract

This study explores the motivational factors influencing English language learning among 7th-grade students at SMP 1 Islam Jember, addressing the issue of low student motivation and its impact on engagement and learning outcomes. Focusing on a specific cultural context, the research fills a gap by examining intrinsic motivation (personal interest, satisfaction, mastery) and extrinsic motivation (grades, praise, career opportunities) among middle school students. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving 19 purposively selected students. Analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that intrinsic motivation, driven by positive experiences like understanding lessons and teacher appreciation, is more dominant. However, students with low self-confidence or facing challenges often lose motivation. Extrinsic motivation was evident in aspirations for high grades and using English for academic and professional purposes. The study concludes that interactive, relevant teaching strategies, such as incorporating popular media or project-based simulations, can significantly enhance motivation. These insights offer practical contributions for developing effective teaching methods to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze English vocabulary learning among Islamic middle school students particularly on their motivation and the learning strategies. A mixed methods approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitatively, researchers used questionnaires to measure students' motivation in learning vocabulary. Qualitatively, in-depth interviews were conducted to understand students' experiences in learning English vocabulary. Quantitative data was collected through motivation and learning strategy questionnaires adapted from Tanaka's (2017) language learning model and distributed to 21 students. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with three students in the class. The results show that students with high intrinsic and extrinsic motivation tend to use more varied and active vocabulary learning strategies, such as intensive reading and using new vocabulary in conversational contexts. This finding is supported by data showing students' response percentages regarding their learning strategies. Generally, interactive and contextual learning strategies lead to better vocabulary mastery than passive strategies. This study suggests that further research should explore the relationship between learning motivation, learning strategies, and students' academic achievement in a broader context. Future studies are also recommended to involve entire classes without separating gender to achieve more representative results.
