6. Motivation

The table 4.6 below shows the responses of the learners related to motivation. Table 4.6. Motivation No . Items Response Means Never 1 Rarely 2 Sometimes 3 Often 4 Always 5 17. When I make progress in learning, I reward myself such as: buy new things, celebrate parties etc. 32 22 22 13 11 2.49 Item 17 as in the table 6 was used to find out the learner s‟ self- motivation. Half of the learners disagreed the item saying that they rarely did such activities. Only 22 tended to reward themselves when they made progress by buying new things or celebrating parties or else. On the other hand, 24 agreed to the statement. The weighted mean 2.49 shows that only few of the learners made practice of this activity.

7. Use of technology in learning

The table 4.7. below shows the responses related to the use of technology in learning English. Table 4.7. Use of technology in learning No . Items Response Means Never 1 Rarely 2 Sometimes 3 Often 4 Always 5 18. I use internet and computers to study and improve English. 14 19 39 28 3.81 The results of their responses were that 67 always used such technologies in learning; 19 did it sometimes but 14 used rarely. On the average, not many learners used these technologies in learning English. This average is found to be 3.81. The weighted mean 3.81 shows that mostly of the learners made practice of this activity From the result we can see that nowadays with the existence of ICT, it seems to increase their motivation to learn language. As reflected “The best way to improve listening is by watching television Richards and Lockhart, 2005.

Learners‟ perceptions regarding the role of a teacher and their own in learning might be different from one to another. Here is the analysis of how the learners, selected in this study have viewed such PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI roles particularly in the practice of autonomous learning.

a. The role of learner

Learners should build clear vision of their learning before learning 14 16 43 27 3.83 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI English. Total Means 3.6 Note: No. = Item Number, SD = Strongly Disagree, DA = Disagree, UD = Undecided, A = Agree, SA =Strongly Agree We see in table 8 that the vast majority, i.e. 93 agreed that the learners have to be responsible for their own ways of practicing English. Similarly, a vast majority 87 agreed that learners should use much self- study materials to learn. Analyzing the responses to item 21; we can observe that 70 have agreed to the statement.
