G. The Influence of Role Play and Drills in Stimulating Student’s
Motivation
In teaching learning activity, motivation can be considered as a key for encouraging success, the chances of success will be greatly enhanced if the
students come to love the learning process. As mentioned in previous section, Role Play can increase motivation of
student’s study in learning English conversation. In this case, as Ladouse said “role play uses different communicative techniques and develops fluency in the
language, promotes interaction in the classroom and increases motivation”. French and Raven 1959 imply different ways to increase student’s
motivation; one of the ways is the use of simulation and game. Although simulation and role-play is different thing, but both of them refer to one goal that
is increases interaction, serves obvious view about real life situation, and involving students directly in learning process.
Student’s feeling is also important aspect in motivation because as we known feeling is one of element that build motivation. Drills also can increase
student’s motivation; because it related to student’s feeling. In previous section, Finocchiaro has said about drills “…when planned carefully and conducted
effectively, they contribute to the student’s feeling of security and achievement …”.
While Harmer gives statement in order to increase student’s motivation, he said ”If students are continue to be intrinsically motivated they clearly need to be
interested both in the subject they are studying and in the activities and topics they are presented with. We need provide them with a variety of subjects and exercises
to keep them engaged”.

From that statement above, it can be shown that in drills they are many kinds of activities to be served in learning process. All of these can be found in
drills with any kinds of its variety. So, from all statements just said; it is clear enough that Role Play and Drills is possible to influence student’s motivation in
their learning activity. The influence itself can be determined by observing their learning process
or their interest in class, which all of these can be seen by their result in answering every questions that given whether test of skill or the equivalent of it like give the
