teaches in schools Oxford Dictionary, 2008. Therefore, a pre-service teacher is a teacher candidate who is being trained as a teacher before heshe takes a job as a

4. Motivation
McClelland 1985 says that motivation is to interference about conscious intents that we make from observing behaviors. Meanwhile, motivation is
referring to the causes or reasons that underlie a given behavior Jung, 1978. Motivation itself can come from the extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic
motivation is the performance of an activity in order to attain some separable outcome and while, in contrast intrinsic motivation refers to doing an activity for
the inherent satisfaction of the activity itself Ryan Deci, 2000. Thus, motivation means a drive that leads someone to do something. In this study,
motivation is a drive which pushes pre-service teachers to be English teachers.
