2.1. Concept of Motivation
Motivation is a complicated problem in teaching English in the world because most educators agree that motivating students is one of the critical tasks of teaching. In
order to learn, students must be cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally engaged in productive class activities. Generally, motivation is usually defined as an internal
state that arouses, directs, and maintains behavior Graham Weiner, 1996. In addition, Gardner and Lambert 1984: 54 in Kato 2007 stated that motivation is
one of important aspects of learning language. Motivation becomes an important aspect of learning which can make the students have awareness about the importance
of studying or learning. So it can be assumed that it can make the teaching-learning process in the class run more effective and efficient.
