<![CDATA[English is difficult to study by foreign language students especially Vocational High School’s students because English has its own language structure which is different with Bahasa Indonesia’s language structure which is more complicated. As a result, students are not interested in learning English and they have anxieties in learning English. For example, feeling afraid of negative feedbacks of their participation in English class, feeling anxiety towards the, communication during English class, feeling terrified towards assessment in English class [1]. However, not at all students only have anxieties, some students also have motivation to learn English. There are two kinds of motivation, which are intrinsic and extrinsic.
