An Independent t-test was computed to answer research question. The participants involved in this study were a hundred students from the secondary level, including junior high school (n=66) and senior high school (n=34) participating in this study fifty (n=50) the students were orphans, and fifty (n=50) others were non-orphan.The result of the research question demonstrates that non-orphan Indonesian EFL  learners had higher individual motivation and social motivation in learning English compared to orphan learners for individual motivation and social motivation.
