Abstract :
A success English learning can be seen from the learners’ English achievement. However,
most students do not have equal English achievement even though the treatment given was
the same. This might be caused by some factors. Two factors influencing the success of
English learning were motivation and attitude Different motivation and attitude toward
English learning will result different achievement.
This research was done in order to find out the influence of students’ motivation toward their
achievement, students’ attitude toward their achievement, and students’ motivation and
attitude altogether toward their achievement at the first grade of SMAN 10 Bandar Lampung.
The participant of the research was the students of the first grade of SMAN 10 Bandar
Lampung in the academic year 2011/2012. Three classes were taken as the sample. Even
though the sample consisted of three classes, in analyzing the data, the writer merged them
into one big group. The total sample consisted of 107 students. The research design was ex
post facto and the data were taken from questionnaire and an achievement test, and then they
were analyzed by using Univariate Analysis of Variance to find out the significant difference
in among every level of each independent variable. By looking at the significant difference
among the level of each independent variable, the influence of independent variable toward
dependent variable can be seen. The significant level (α) used in this research was 0.05.
The result found that there is significant difference between students with high and low
motivation (0.034). It means that, students’ achievement is influenced by their motivation.
Another significant difference is also found between students with strong and weak attitude
(0.00). it also means that students’ achievement is influenced by their attitude. And the last
result which is not significant is between motivation and attitude altogether toward students
achievement (0.079). Since the result is not significant, it means that motivation and attitude
is not correlated or influenced one to another. In other words, students’ achievement is
influenced by motivation and attitude independently.
