STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN LISTENING TO ENGLISH COURSE THROUGH ONLINE LEARNING

Abstract

Abstract: The goal of this study is to shed light on the motivation of students at Bososwa University's English Department toward their online learning. Some current studies revealed that students' motivation in online learning was affected both intrinsically and extrinsically as a result of the abrupt transition from traditional face-to-face learning to remote online learning. Snowball sampling was used in this study, with ten students participating in individual interviews and twenty students participating in focus group interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data gathered from both interviews. It was discovered that students' listening motivation to English course for online learning was intrinsically influenced more by their desire to learn new knowledge and their enjoyment of trying out new learning methods. It was also extrinsically influenced by external regulation and environmental conditions. However, amotivation, or a lack of motivation, occurred as a result of inadequate external supporting facilities.
