CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of Study
Language plays an important role in the society. It is impossible to communicate and to understand to other people without language. Someone who master the first language is also expected to master other language. The language which is frequently used in international communication is English. English is widely used as a means of communication for people all over the world in their activities, either formal or non-formal. They maybe motivated by their own needs. English is used for business purpose, technology, academic, occupation and others. English is one of the foreign languages which is learned at school in Indonesia. It is taught from Elementary School up to university. Since this language has been taught in Indonesian school, some problems arisen concerning with the structural rule and others found by teachers or students. One of problems in English teaching is motivation, which mostly happens among students. Motivation will give an influence to the achievement of learning objective. It is not only limited to intelligence, enviromnent and age. Many teachers think that their job at school is only to teach. They do not care much about their students. In this case, the teachers should motivate their
2
process. As Paul R Pintrich said "Motivation is an important quality that pervades all students' activities" 1 Based on research, one of the psychological problems is students' motivation. Psychologists believe that an intermediate level of motivation is the best for many learning tasks. If a persons' level of motivation is too low, he or she may give up quickly. Jeremy Harmer stated, "in the face of such phenomena it seems reasonable to suggest that the motivation that students bring to class is the biggest single factor affecting their success. 2 Motivation is one of affective factors in language learning. The students' motivation in language learning also affects their score for English. It is assumed that the students with high motivation in learning English will be more successful rather than the students who have low motivation or not at all. There are four language skills which are concluded in English language. Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. In this paper the writer is going to focus on Listening. The writer chooses the listening as the objective of research because the writer wants to know why the students are not motivated on listening subject. It is because the teacher is not interesting or not good enough to give the material, or because the lack of facilities. It is such an interesting study to have a research on what have been
mentioned above in order to find whether the students' motivation has any correlation with their English Listening achievement. It is expected that this study may support the English Teaching-Learning process to improve the quality of study.

B. The Limitation and formulation of problem
In this paper, the writer limits the study on the discussion on students' motivation in correlation with students' English Listening achievement. In this research, the object of the study is limited on the Eleventh Grade of SMAN 3. The formulation of the problem in this paper is; "Is there any correlation between students' motivation and their English Listening achievement?" C. The Purpose of study
This study aims to know whether motivation has any correlation with students' English Listening achievement. The writer hopes that this research will help to develop the student's motivation in teaching-learning listening. D. The Significance of study
This study is expected to provide a useful information about the condition of teaching English listening in SMAN 3 TEGAL, especially in students' English Listening achievement in relation with their motivation. From the information given, the English teacher of SMAN 3 TEGAL can evaluate whether motivation has any correlation with students' English Listening achievement. In addition, the result of this research can be used as a reference for further researcher who is interested in conducting similar case of study. E. The scope of the study
In this study, the writer focuses at Eleventh Grade (XI IPA 4) of SMAN 3 TEGAL.
CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Motivation 1. Meaning of Motivation
The word "motivation" is familiar enough for us that are commonly used in our society. But actually this word is not easy enough to define. The abstract term 'motivation' on its own is rather difficult to define. It is easier and more useful to think in term of the 'motivated' learner: one who is willing or even eager to invest effort in learning activities and to progress. Learner motivation makes teaching and learning immeasurably easier and more pleasant, as well as more productive: hence the importance or the topic for the teachers. 1 So the teacher must develop an understanding of the nature of the motives and techniques of motivation. Many experts in psychology have given various definitions of motivation because it is an abstract concept cannot be easily to define. It is internal to person and thus cannot be observed. Nonetheless, experienced teachers know the importance of motivation as one of the important forces that guides students' action.

Motivation has a significant role in teaching learning process. The students who have a higher motivation will get a better opportunity to achieve the goal in their learning activities than the lower one. Ngalim Purwanto said that: "Jika seseorang mendapat motivasi yang tepat. .. sehingga tercapai hasil yang semula tak terduga". (if someone gets right motivation ... so that he reaches unpredictable result)2 Jeremy Harmer stated that motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. 3 In addition Paul R. Pintrich stated that Motivation is the process whereby goal-directed activity is instigated and sustained. 4 From the statements above we can conclude that motivation is an essential of learning to achieve something. It is the process which directs to activity. Douglash Brown stated that: "Motivation is probably the most frequently used catch-all term for explaining the success or failure of virtually any complex task". 5 It means motivation plays a vital part in teaching learning activity, so it has an influence toward students' success or failure as language learner. The author of classic successful language learning (Naiman et al., 1987) came to the conclusion that the most successful learners are not necessarily those to whom a language comes very easily; they are those who display certain typical characteristics, most of them clearly associated with motivation. Some of these are:

1.
Positive task orientation. The learner is willing to tackle task and challenges, and has confidence in his or her success.
2. Ego-involvement. The learner finds it important to succeed in learning in order to maintain and promote his or her own (positive) self-image. 3. Need for achievement. The learner has a need to achieve, to overcome difficulties and succeed in what he or she sets out to do. 4. High aspiration. The learner is ambitious, goes for demanding challenges, high proficiency, top grades. 5. Goal orientation. The learner is very aware of the goals oflearning, or of specific learning activities, and directs his or her effort towards achieving them. 6. Perseverance. The learner consistently invests a high lever of effort in learning, and is not discouraged by setbacks or apparent lack of progress. 7. Tolerance of ambiguity. The learner is not disturbed or frustrated by situation involving a temporary lack of understanding or confusion; he or she can live with these patiently, in the confidence that understanding will come later. 6 From these definitions above, they could be concluded that motivation is the process or a way to get a success. So it is very important thing for everyone if he/she wanted to achieve his/her goal in learning achievement. It is very difficult to achieve a goal without motivation. In teaching-learning process, giving motivation to the students is a process to support them to learn, so it can help the students to achieve their success.
7
B. Kinds of Motivation a. Extrinsic motivation In this case, many experts have defined extrinsic motivation differently,
but it has the same meanings and purpose. According to Pamela R. Rothstein stated that: extrinsic motivation is administrated from an external source and is not inherent in the behavior itself. 7 In addition, Penny Ur extrinsic motivation is that which derives from the influence of some kind of external incentive, as distinct from the wish to learn for its own sake or interests in tasks. 8 This statement is supported by Jeremy Harmer who said that extrinsic motivation is caused by any number or outside factors, for example, the need to pass exam, the hope of financial reward, or the possibility of future travel. 9 Extrinsic motivation is motivation which not derives from our selves but from outside. As Oemar Hamalik stated that extrinsic motivation is "motivasi yang disebabkan oleh faktor-falctor dari luar situasi belajar (motivation caused by outside factors of situation/ 0 From the definition above, they could be concluded that Extrinsic motivation is motivation which is the sources derive from outside factors. An example; a person studying because he or she knows that tomorrow morning there is will be a test, by hoping that he/she could get a good value. So it is very important in teaching learning process, the teacher should have to improve or support their students in learning process.

( There are some factors that can influence extrinsic motivation in teaching learning process as follows: 1). Teacher
Teacher has an important role in teaching learning activity. Teacher is not only a person who transfers the knowledge to the students, but also as a motivator who can motivate or support the students in learning activity. Teacher has a responsibility to make learning process successfully. Therefore, teacher has an obligation to arise motivation to their students to learn hard. In an article written some years ago, Girard (1977) emphasized that it is an important part of the teacher's job to motivate learners. In more recent 'learner-centered' approaches to language teaching, however the teacher's function is seen mainly as a provider of materials and conditions for learning, while the learner takes responsibility for his or her own motivation and performance. 11 The statements above conclude that the teacher as a motivator must support and motivate the students to learn harder. According to Penny Ur, other sources are certainly affected by teacher action. Here some of them: a) Success and its rewards This is perhaps the single most important feature in raising extrinsic motivation. Learners who have succeeded in past tasks will be more willing to engage with the next one, more confident in their chances of succeeding, and more likely to persevere in their efforts.
9
b) Failure and its penalties Failure, too, is not just a matter of wrong answers; learners should be aware that they are failing if they have done significantly less that they could have, if they are making unsatisfactory, or not taking care. Failure in any sense is generally regarded as something to be avoided, just is success is something to be sought. But this should not be taken too far. For one thing, success loses its sweetness if it is too easily attained and ifthere is no real possibility or experience of failure. c) Authoritative demands Learner are often motivated by teacher pressure: they may be willing to invest effort in tasks simply because you have told them to, recognizing your authority and right to make this demand, and trusting your judgment. Younger learners on the whole need the exercise of such authority more, adult less: but even adult prefer to be faced with a clear demanded. d) Tests The motivating power of tests appears clear: learners who know they are going to be tested on specific material next week will normally be more motivated to study it caref1.1lly than if they had simply been told to learn it. Again, this is a useful incentive, provided there is not too much stress attached, and provided it is not used too often. e) Competition Learners will often be motivated to give of their best not for the sake of the learning itself but in order to beat their opponents in a competition. Individual competition can be stressful for people who find losing h,,maiMina or or.e not VP.rv

consistently to lose in contests based on (linguistic) knowledge; and is over used, it eventually affects negatively learners' willingness to cooperate and help each other. 12 2). Parents Richard I. Arends stated about parents as follows: "Parents with high social economic status seem to instill high achievement motivation in their children, parent who encourage their children to try new things and who reward them for high perform, establish in their children needs to achieve and a willingness to take risk. On the other hand, parent who overly protect their children and punish them for failure tend to raise children with low motivation". 13 From the statements above we can conclude that the parents have a important role. They should have to support their children to create their motivation. 3). Environment Talking about the meanmg of environment, Tabrani defined, "Lingkungan adalah sesuatu yang berada di sekitar kita, yang ada hubungannya dan berpengaruh terhadap diri kita (Environment is everything which exist all around us, which has correlation and gives influence on our selves)" 14 Sardiman said, "Lingkungan (environment) ialah meliputi semua kondisi-kondisi dalam dunia yang dalam cara-cara tertentu mempengaruhi tingkah laku kita, pertumbuhan dan perkembangan atau proses hidup kita.

(Environment is all conditions in the world which can influence our behavior, our growth or life proces)" 15
b. Intrinsic Motivation Oemar Hamalik stated that "Motivasi intrinsic adalah motivasi yang tercakup dalam situasi belajar yang bersumber dari kebutuhan dan tujuantujuan siswa itu sendiri (Intrinsic Motivation is a motivation included in learning situation that originally comes from the need and goals of the students itself) 16 According to Sardiman A. M, "Motivasi intrinsik adalah motif-motif yang menjadi aktif atau berfungsinya tidak perlu dirangsang dari luar, karena dalam setiap individu sudah ada untuk melakukan sesuatu (Intrinsic Motivation comes from within and operates without any external stimulus). 17 Norman stated that Intrinsic motives are those which are satisfied by internal reinforces. 18 Intrinsic motivation is the natural tendency to seek out and conquer challenges as we pursue personal interest and exercise capabilities. (Deci & .
Ryan, 1985; Reeve, 1996; Ryan & Deci, 2000)
19
The statements above shown, that motivation will be active or function did not need to stimulate from outside, because every person has a drive to do something. Need, interest and goal are three of the aspects covered in intrinsic motivation.

I) Need Everyone has physical needs and psychic needs. The term 'need' defined as "circumstance in which something is lacking or necessary or require some course of action"20 The students who has a need is one who lacks something that a given activity or outcome can provide. Thus a need for achievement can be met with a corresponding increase in satisfaction, by success in attaining some goal requiring effort. 21 2) Interest Interest is the second factor which determines ones attitude in working or studying actively learning process go well. Interest are closely related to habit motives in that acquired as a result of satisfying experiences in a given activity and once established, tend to perpetuate them as long as they are effective from the stand point of the persons goals and purposes. 22 Learning process will go well if someone has an interest. "An interest is motivating force that impulse an individual toward participation in one activity rather than another". 23 In teaching learning activity the teacher should have to increase the students' interest. So they will be motivated to learn harder.

3) Goal All people have a goal in their life. Before they do what they wanted to do, the have decided a goal first. Jeremy Harmer said that motivation is closely bound up with a person's desire to achieve a goal. 24 In teaching learning activity, the students should have to know and decide the goal, because it can be a great motivation for them. If the students knew the appropriate goal they will prepare everything that can help them to achieve their goal.
B. The Nature of Listening 1. The Definition of Listening
When people listen - whether they are listening to a lecture, a news broadcast, or a joke, or are engaging in a conversation - they are listening to a stretch of discourse. In fact, listening is the most frequently used language skill in everyday life. 25 Listening is used-far more than any other single language skill in normal daily life. On average, we can expect to listen twice as much as we speak, four times more than we read, and five times more that we write. (Rivers, 1981; Weaver, 1972). 26 It is many definitions about listening, according to Greene and Loomis
"Listening means giving ... full attention, to a sound". In other words, it is does not

14
only have something to do with the ear, but also with the mind. However, hearing does not necessarily mean giving full attention. It is merely a matter of ear. 27 Listening is assuming greater and greater importance in many foreign language contexts, which have until relatively recently focused their efforts on the development of writing skills. In short, Listening is essential not only as a receptive skill but also to development of spoken language proficiency. 28 From the definition given above, they could be concluded that listening is a mental process which involves full attention to get an understanding from the words which are given by the speaker.
2. The Factors Affecting of Listening Skill According to Joseph P. Boyle, there are three factors that affect listening skill, they are: Listener factors, Speaker factors and Material Factors, as follow: a.
Listener Factors General I.
Experience/ practice in listening to the target language: use of media (cinema, TV, radio, etc)
2. General intelligence 3. General background knowledge of the world

Difficulty of content and concepts, especially if the material is abstract, abstruse, highly specialized or technical, esoteric, lengthy, or poorly organized. 3. Acoustic environment: noise and interference 4. Amount of support provided by gestures, visuals, etcetera. 3. Types of Listening
The types of listening is divided into two kinds, they are Extensive Listening and Intensive Listening. a. Extensive Listening This type of listening is usually used to listen or to remember something that has been known before in a certain condition that is new vocabulary or . m . an utterance. 29 structura1pomts According to Wright, "Extensive Listening is the students attempts to understand the gist of what he ears". 30
17
b. Intensive Listening Another type of listening is Intensive Listening. This type of listening emphasizes the capability of the listener to understand deeply what is uttered by the speaker. 31 According to wright, Intensive Listening is the, student attempts to understand a high proportion of what we hears or a high proportion of a certain part of the text. 32 4. Types of Listening Activitics33 a). No overt response The learners do not have to do anything in response to the listening; however facial expression and body language often show if they are following or not. For example; stories, songs, entertainment. b). Short response Obeying instructions. Learners perform actions, on draw shapes or pictures, in response to instructions.
c). Longer responses Answeling questions. One or more questions demanding fairly full responses are given in advance, to which the listening text provides the answer(s). Because of the relative length of the answer demanded, they are most conveniently given in writing.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND RESEARCH FINDINGS
A. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 1. The Method of Research
In writing this research, the writer used a survey method through correlational techniques. She analyzed the research by using Pearson Correlation Product Momeni to know the result.
2. The Place and Time of Study The writer did the research at SMAN 3 TEGAL. This research started on August to September 2008. On August 25 the writer asked permission to the headmaster to do the research. On September 3, 2008 the writer gave the questionnaire to the respondents (students) in order to know the students' motivation in studying listening. Then on September 13, 2008 the writer took the students' score oflistening. 3. The Technique of Sample Taking In this research the writer took population of the Eleventh Grade students at SMAN 3 TEGAL. The total population is about 797 students from 21 classes. Then the writer chose the students from one class as a sample, namely the class of 2. IPA4 with the total is 36 students.
20
4. The Technique of Data Collecting I
To get the data of students' motivation in learning Listening, the writer used the questionnaires to get the students' answers. The questionnaires based on indicators of motivation of extrinsic mid intrinsic motivation and they consist of 20 items, and each item has five options which are: Strongly Agree, Agree, In doubt, Disagree, Strongly Disagree
The answers to each question that the students much answer are 4 choices and the value of each is as follows: a. Score 5 is very high b. Score 4 is high c. Score 3 is neutral d. Score 2 is low e. Score 1 is very low Before the questionnaire was tried out, the number of item was 27, after a try out was conducted, the number of valid items are 20, because the coefficient value of each item is more than 0.300 (r>0.300) and another seven items are not validbecause their coefficient values are less than 0.300 (r<0.300). The invalid items are not used in this study but only the valid ones are applied to take the data. Components of motivation in learning English listening include these characteristics: Intrinsic Motivation a. Interest b. Need c. Goal Extrinsic Motivation a. Teacher h.

B. RESEARCH FINDINGS
1. The Description of Data As mentioned in the previous chapter, to get the data, firstly the writer conducted a research by giving questionnaires about students' motivation in learning listening to 36 students as a sample. After the data were collected, ·she analyzed them to know how many students having high motivation and how many students having low motivation. Second, to get the data about students' listening achievement, the writer took from the English teacher. Finally, after the writer analyzed both data to see the correlation between students' motivation and their listening achievement by applying the formula of pearson' s product moment correlation.
1) Students' Motivation Scores In this case, students' motivation in learning listening is as independent variable (X). To know it, the writer gave the questionnaire to 36 students as a sample. The following table describes the result of '
questionnaire about students' motivation.

2. The Interpretation of Data After the writer proceeded the formula, as it had been found out about the result of the correlation, the next level is to give the interpretation of the 'r' score (rxy).
From the data on students' motivation and their listening score, it appeared that the conelation index between X variable and Y variable is 0,446. it means that between both variables have a correlation. To give simple interpretation toward the correlation index 'r' Product moment (rxy) can be done by the following table.
27
'r' score of Product Moment
Interpretation
0.00- 0.20
There is no correlation between variable X and variable Y There is low correlation between variable X and variable Y There is medium correlation between variable X and variable Y There is strong correlation between variable X and variable Y There is very strong correlation between variable X and variable Y
0.20-0.40 0.40- 0.70 0.70-0.90 0.90-1.00
From the calculation of the estimation above, it concludes that there is medium correlation between students' motivation and students' listening, and the hypothesis of the research is accepted. Then in order to complete the result of this research, the writer tried to find out the degree of freedom (df) with the formula: df=N-nr =36-2 =34 df= 34 (see table of"r" values of the degree of significance of5 % and 1%) At the degree of significance 5% = 0.325 1%=0.418 5% = ro : rt = 0.446 < 0.325 1% = ro:
rt=
0.446 < 0.418
To know correlation between them, the writer use 'r' table with (df= 34), get significance 5% = 0.325, significance 1% = 0.418 and conclude as follows:
fxy
= 0.446, so it can be
28
The significance 5% = fxy : rt= 0.446 > 0.325 and in significance 1% = rxy : rt= 0.446 > 0.418. It shows that null hypothesis (Ho) which states that there is no significance correlation between students' motivation and their achievement in listening score is rejected, and alternative hypothesis (Ha) which states that there is a significance co1Telation between students' motivation and their achievement in listening score is accepted. PERPUSTAl
3. The Test of Hypothesis To prove the result of hypothesis, the writer calculates the obtained data by using Pearson's coefficient of correlation or "product moment" as follows: I. Formulation the alternative hypothesis (Ha): there is a significant
correlation between variable X and variable Y. 2. Formulation the null hypothesis (Ho): there 1s not a significant co1Telation between variable X and variable Y.
From the fonnulation above, the writer followed some assumption as below: a. If the result of calculation ro is lower than r1 (r table) ro
