Abstrak
Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji korelasi antara motivasi peserta didik bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL) dalam mengikuti kursus bahasa Inggris (X) dan prestasi belajar bahasa Inggris mereka di sekolah (Y). Desain metode campuran digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Instrumen penelitian ini adalah observasi, kuesioner, dokumen, dan wawancara. Metode korelasi digunakan untuk mengukur hubungan antar dua variabel. 30 siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) terlibat sebagai sampel dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukan ada korelasi antara motivasi peserta didik EFL terhadap nilai bahasa Inggris mereka. Meskipun hasil menunjukan adanya hubungan yang positif namun rendah dan tidak signifikan. Hasil investigasi menemukan lima temuan. Pertama, dalam beberapa kasus, metode yang digunakan guru untuk kegatan belajar tidak sesuai dengan kondisi siswa. Kedua, kebanyakan siswa merasa kesulitan dalam memahami stuktur gramatika dalam bahasa Inggris. Ketiga, siswa akan memahami materi jika mereka merasa tertarik dengan guru dan bahan ajarnya. Jika mereka tidak merasa nyaman dengan kedua hal tersebut, merek tidak akan memahami materi sama sekali. Keempat, mereka tidak memiliki keingintahuan yang tinggi karena mereka tidak ingat penjelasan materi dari tutor mereka pada saat kursus bahasa inggris dihari berikutnya. Artinya mereka tidak mempelajarinya lagi dirumah. Kelima, 43% siswa memilih untuk belajar dengan guru mereka disekolah, 36% siswa memilih belajar dengan tutor di tempat kursus mereka, dan 21% tidak memilih keduanya.
