ABSTRACT

This research focuses on the motivation of the santris of Pondok Pesantren Askhabul

Kahfi Gunungpati in learning English. The writer was interested to do the research

because most people only know that pesantren only teach their students with Arabic.

In fact, the pesantren also teaches English. This research used quantitative research

intended to find out the degrees of motivations that santris have to learn English and

also to figure out the dominant factors that motivate santris to learn English . This

research emphasizes two kinds of motivations that the santris of Pondok Pesantren

Askhabul Kahfi Gunungpati have. They are the integrative and instrumental

motivation. The writer obtained the data from the questionnaire given to 42

respondents at Pondok Pesantren Askhabul Kahfi Gunungpati who take English class as their extracurricular. It was found that the santris have a higher degree of

integrative and moderate degree of instrumental motivation. They had more interest

to learn English because they wanted to be a part of the cultural societies rather than

to get the financial gain in time. There are also some factors which are believed to

motivate the santris in learning English, they are the classroom situations, the

teachers‟ way of teaching, the characteristics of teachers, and also the material

difficulty. The result of the research showed that the santris were motivated because

of the understandable teachers‟ way of teaching and also the characteristic of the

teachers which is supportive to the students.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini difokuskan pada motivasi yang dimiliki oleh para santri dari Pondok

Pesantren Askhabul Kahfi Gunungpati dalam belajar Bahasa Inggris. Penulis merasa

tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian ini karena banyak orang mengira bahwa di pondok-

pondok pesantren hanya mengajarkan murid mereka (santri) dengan Bahasa Arab saja.

Pada kenyataannya, di beberapa pondok pesantren juga mengajarkan Bahasa Inggris.

Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mencari tahu tingkatan

dari motivasi yang dimiliki oleh santri untuk belajar Bahasa inggris, dan juga untuk

mencari tahu factor yang dominant yang memotivasi santri untuk belajar Bahasa inggris

menekankan dua jenis motivasi yang dimiliki oleh para santri dari Pondok Pesantren

Askhabul Kahfi Gunungpati yaitu motivasi integrative dan juga motivasi instrumental.

Penulis mendapatkan dara menggunakan kuisioner yang diberikan pada 42 responden di

Pondok Pesantren Askhabul Kahfi Gunungpati yang mengambil kelas ekstrakurikuler

Bahasa Inggris. Hasilnya, para santri mempunyai tingkat motivasi integrative yang jauh

lebih tinggi daripada tingkat motivasi instrumental. Mereka punya ketertarikan untuk

belajar Bahasa Inggris karena mereka ingin tergabung ke dalam kelompok budaya

tertentu daripada mendapatkan keuntungan secara finansial di masa depan. Ada juga

beberapa faktor yang memotivasi para santri dalam belajar Bahasa Inggris. Beberapa

faktor itu adalah situasi ruang kelas, cara guru mengajar, karakter guru yang suportif dan

juga tingkat kesulitan dari materi yang diajarkan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan

bahwa para santri termotivasi dengan cara guru mengajar yang mudah dipahami dan juga

karakter guru yang suportif terhadap murid-muridnya.
