CRITICAL ESSAY
1. Refer to 2 of the presenters’ presentation and articles that attract your interest.
 Shela Novani : Correlation of Gadget Addiction with Sleep Quality in 4th - 6th
Grade Students at SDN 01 Srigading Lawang in 2019
 Geblyna Putri : Exploring motivational orientations of English as foreign language
(EFL) learners: A case study in Indonesia

2. State your reasons why you are interested to the articles.

 Shela's article: because it sounds very modern and model or new. Also, I think this
article can be very helpful since the case of it is something that happens to, I
believe, most teenagers, even adults nowadays; that their sleep quality decreases due
to gadget addiction.
 Geblyn's article: because I myself agree that Indonesian students rarely get
motivational orientations about learning English. So, I really would like to see how
it is going, and whether it helps improving students' motivation or not.

3. Decide to read one of the articles : Exploring motivational orientations of English as

foreign language (EFL) learners: A case study in Indonesia

4. State your reasons

 Between the two, I decided to pick Geblyn's because, as stated previously, I don't
think Indonesian students get enough motivational orientations about English. If
only they do, I believe a lot of them will be motivated to learn it. But no, most
students still believe learning English is such a waste of time since they rarely use it
in their daily life. Thus, I’m interested to read and learn more about it.

5. Read the article

6. State whether you gain what you want to find from the article
After reading the article, I think I can honestly say it does answer my curiosity and
even increase my knowledge. As far as I know, motivation is just that; motivation. I
never even thought there are kinds of it, which I just discovered in this article.
Integrative Motivation refers to learners’ willingness and interest in interacting with
members of the group of the second language (L2), while Instrumental Motivation is
defined as the desire to achieve proficiency for practical reasons. In sum, integrative
motivation is due to internal reasons, whereas instrumental motivation is due to external
ones.
Additionally, I also found out that for Indonesian EFL learners, the integrative
motivation is not relevant in the era of globalisation. In short, most of EFL learners
learn English only because they feel necessary to do so, not because they themselves
feel interested in it.
