ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: This survey study was aimed at exploring types and levels of motivation of learners in an Indonesian private university. It used a descriptive method and involved 151 third semester learners of non-English majors of Faculty of Education and Teacher Training in academic year of 2015/2016 as respondents. A questionnaire was administered to these learners to find out types and levels of their motivation. The results revealed that (1) types of motivation of the learners were more integrative (M = 3.72) than instrumental (M = 3.70). Furthermore, (2) the learners were moderately motivated (M = 3.71). This indicated that the learners learnt English to communicate in English and they would learn English even if it were not obliged by the university. These results imply several suggestions: (1) in TEFL practice, lecturers should provide the learners with appropriate instructional materials, (2) teaching learning process should be stimulating, and (3) assessment techniques must stimulate and sustain learners’ motivation.
