ENGLISH STUDY CLUB: HOW STUDENTS' MENTAL ATTRIBUTES REFLECT THEIR MOTIVATION

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating the main motivation of students in the English club and testing the level of motivation based on the aspects of learning motivation that have been developed by Worell and Stilwell. This study aims to reveal the difference in motivation between on-campus clubs and English clubs using quantitative descriptive methods on the subjects of students in the second semester to the final semester of the English Department. The data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using a non-parametric test, Mann-Whitney. This study indicates no significant difference between student learning motivation on campus and the English Club from the average of six aspects of learning motivation. However, the English club was superior in terms of feedback and goals as the primary motivation for students. From these results, it is known that the English club contributes well to the mental attributes of students in practicing English proficiency.
