According to Baugh (2002:15), English is one of the most important language of the world. Based on his statement, it can be concluded that people have to learn English to be able to communicate with other people in the world.

Motivation is categorized into two types. They are extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation refers to reward that are obtained not from the activity, but as a consequence of the activity (Morris and Maisto 2002:203). So, this motivation is about individual’s support to do something that comes from outside. But, it different from intrinsic motivation. According to Morris and Maisto (2002:204) intrinsic motivation is the ultimate goal in education at every level. The students who have intrinsic motivation usually focus do activity based on their own pleasure and enjoyment because motivation comes from individual itself.
Student often has many difficulties to reach the goal of learning English. It is important for teachers to be truly effective to help their students be motivated to learn. Teachers must go beyond the materials and processes typically used to stimulate and understand the underlying elements involved in the motivation to learn. According to Brown (2003:202), the concept of motivation is linked closely to other constructs in education and psychology such as constructs of attention, needs, goals, and interests which are all contribute to simulating students interest in learning and their intention to engage in particular activities and achieve various goal.
