- Total 40 100 This motivation factor seems to get the same result as previous question in which they said true totaling only 14 students although it is not a bad figure. There are 10 students who rather choose not at all. A little bit explicit answers by 11 students said not true while there are only 5 students or 12.5 who put a check on not really. 38 This would represent the low motivation for question number 2. This also means that they seem not to care much about competition especially in learning foreign language. However, an expectation is still there. 14 out of 40 students will likely wish to compete with others in an effort of showing best performances they could be. As for other students, they need to have better learning method for the mastery of foreign language. In this case, both teachers and students should find a formula in a way that they could motivate each other to create a lively class. Nevertheless, the teachers are the ones who will be more responsible for this case.

4.1.4 Perception on Students’ wishing to Continue English Lessons

Sometimes when something you like most is over then you can not help thinking to do it again. If you are in this phase then you may be motivated on a particular thing. The same applies when students wish to continue lessons they just had. They feel that something is missing without knowing why. This could lead to further interpretation that motivation is being felt by them. In precise, what they have just had stimulates energy to do more before it fades away. If they truly feel this way then it is a good step to move forward with other stimulation the teachers might be implementing. Otherwise, the teachers should think of a different way to make it happen. 39 Table 4: Getting Along with English Language in the Classes No Answers Frequency Percentage 1. Not at all 10

- Total 40 100 A majority of students wish not to continue the lessons. It is indicated by around 11 of them or 27.5 of total percentage choose not to continue studying English when the lesson ends. That is not true option. 10 students or 25.0 vote for not at all while only 5 of them or 12.5 of total respondents pick out not really. Overall, the students are still unmotivated to learn English eventhough some of them have shown their willingness to study English more seriously. It seems that class should be made more enjoyable in order to draw students’ attention. In this context, teachers are hoped to demonstrate their participative 40 teaching more intensely than before in the face of students to generate more activity and create a sense of excitement to further develop their fearlessness to be active in front of class.

4.1.5 Perception on Students’ Opinion in Learning Things Useful in the Future

An opinion is something pure from the heart of the speaker who say it out loud without any intervention from any other parties. It is like a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty. In another sense, it is merely a message expressing a belief about something; the expression of a belief that is held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof. Some say that opinion is a belief or sentiment shared by most people or the voice of the people. Eventhough it is not based on the scientific approach but those who dare to say it may determine the matter lingering them. From people opinion, a certain conclusion can be drawn to describe the exact problem still going on in the current situation. 41 Table 5: Students Opinion about the Future Usage of English No Answers Frequency Percentage 1.
