C. DISCUSSIONS

The discussion in this section is to answer the research questions raised in Chapter

I. There are two research questions:

1. Does the additional English class affect students' motivation?

2. What factors motivate students to take extra English classes?

The researcher describes several brief explanations of the research data that have

been obtained through questionnaires. The first research question is whether extra

English classes have an effect on students' learning motivation. According to the results

of the questionnaire, so far the results show that the English extra class has a good value

and has an effect on increasing students' knowledge about learning English. This is

evidenced by the Mann-Whitney U-test is .500 and the significance value is .000. Based

on statistical calculations through SPSS 16.0, group 2's score was higher than group 1

both in terms of mean rank scores and sum rank scores. Based on the output of "Test

Statistics" it is known that the Asymp value. Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000<0.05. Then it can be

concluded that H1 is accepted.

They are motivated to take extra English classes. This includes two factors that

make them take extra English classes. Both are intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. As

explained “Extrinsic motivation occurs when students engage in activities for external

reasons, such as praise, grades. Special privileges, and certificates or material rewards 1.

In addition, it is said that, intrinsic motivation involves internal motivation to do

something for oneself2. The main purpose of the school holding this program is to

improve the quality of English skills. This is evidenced by the answers to the

questionnaire, the students feel lucky that they have the opportunity to join English extra

class to increase knowledge about English. Moreover, it also belongs to them the

initiative to get good learning to achieve high and good achievement in school.

Motivation drives to achieve goals. While most students agree that extra English

class is the right place to improve their English skills to achieve several goals. This

shows that students agree that the additional English class provides good material that is

easy to understand and use by the teacher in an interesting way of delivering material

based on the module, students' motivation in taking extra English classes depends on

their interest which occurs from the student's personal reasons. Themselves, teacher

competence and teaching style. Meanwhile, additional English classes provide materials

that support the material taught during school hours. Then, the expectation of extra

English classes also has an influence on students' motivation, such as they can speak

English fluently by taking extra English classes, can apply to any university to continue

their studies, can do all the assignments given by the teacher, and they hope that by

learning English in extra classes it can support their future careers, etc.

Most of the students strongly agreed that some of the statements were related to

what they got and expected after attending the extra English class. The results of the

questionnaire on the second research question show that students' motivation in learning

English in extra class is caused by both intrinsic and extrinsic because these factors do

not only come from themselves but also include their social environment. In addition,

some of the students learn English because of their initiative to achieve the goal and they

like to learn it. In addition, they also like English because they want to communicate

with foreigners and travel around the world. Two factors that make students' motivation

in learning English in extra class. In extra grade English that they get clearer answers to

their questions than in school time is also the reason why they enjoy studying in extra

class more than school. In short, most of the students are in instrumental motivation

because they study English for the sake of learning English related to them the program

is successful. It could be intrinsic or extrinsic factors that make future needs such as

studies, careers or their achievements in passing their study programs at school. And

some students are also in integrative to learn English because they want to communicate

in English fluently or to communicate with foreigners. So far, the English extra class has

had a good effect and increased the motivation of Nurul Jadid's grade 2 students.
