Abstract
The omission of English subjects at the public elementary school level
in Indonesia makes many students not experience learning English
formally in elementary schools. Therefore, learning English in junior
high school is the first experience for first-grade junior high school
students in learning English formally. However, in private elementary
schools, English subject is still applied. This phenomenon makes first
graders of junior high school divided into two: students who
previously studied English in elementary school and students who did
not study English in elementary school. This present study reports on
the motivation of six students of first-grade junior high school to learn
English. The six students were divided into two groups: students who
previously studied English in elementary school and those who did
not study English in elementary school. By using the theory of Self-
Determination, this study analyzed students’ motivation using a
continuum. This study used semi-structured interviews to obtain the
data, which were then analyzed using thematic analysis by Braun and
Clarke. This study found that students who previously studied English
at school tend to have more intrinsic motivation, which means they
feel happy and enjoy learning English. Students who did not
previously study English in elementary school tend to have extrinsic
motivation, which is greater motivation from outside themselves.
However, both groups have their own goals in English.
