| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to understand more about the motivational spectrum between
learning English language generally and learning English language through self-paced E-learning.
Even though many studies have been conducted to investigate motivation to learn English, to date,
there is a small body of literature that discusses E-learning and its relation to motivation. This
study was intended to be a qualitative study. The participants of this study were four students of
senior high school in Madiun, East Java. They have already been using a self-paced E-learning
platform to learn English for at least six month so they already have learning experiences using
the platform. The data in this study were collected using interviews. The participants shared their
experiences about learning English in general and also their experiences when learning English
using self-paced E-learning. To analyze the data, the researcher grouped the expressions according
to the themes and sub-themes. The main themes of motivation include intrinsic motivation and
extrinsic motivation. The extrinsic motivation has revealed some sub-themes, i.e., (1) external
regulation, (2) introjected regulation, (3) identified regulation, and (4) integrated regulation. The
findings revealed the motivation to learn English generally was intrinsic motivation and extrinsic
motivation. However, the motivation to learn English using self-paced E-learning was extrinsic
motivation. | en_US |
