Abstract:

The authors argue that various factors are affecting students in learning which
cover two big factors, i.e. internal factors and external factors. Those have characterized by students’ learning aims which are not just to get much information needed, but also to be better in all aspects of learning as well as more competent in solving any problem they may face. Such a learning motivation, as proposed by Cenoz and Perales (2000), has the following major components, that is, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation. These can only happen if another aspect supports them in learning. In this sense, it is urgent that any factor arises in learning not only motivation but also the school, society, family, education stakeholders can affect learning.
