Abstract
Students’ motivation functions as a stimulator for students to achieve goal in learning English. It also affects the result of the learning. This research aims to describe the lecturers’ perception toward their students’ motivation in EFL class. It employs qualitative research with purposive sampling technique to get the data. Interview and observation are used to collect the data. In analyzing the data, it applies thematic analysis by Braun & Clarke (2006). The result of the analysis shows that in general, students’ motivation is low since their motivation is not dealing with improving their English skill. During the learning process, some students are highly motivated, while others are less motivated. Students’ motivation in attending English class varies. Some students attend the class to complete the task, some aim to get good grades, while the others want to fulfill the attendance only. Students’ motivation in learning English does affect the learning process and the result.
