This research aimed at investigating the students' motivation in English learning as a second language. The method used was a survey by randomly asking the students in Pritchard English Academy (PEACE) to fill out a questionnaire which adapted from Attitude Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) designed by R.C. Gardner. The questionnaire was administered to a group of 30 students who come from intermediate until advanced level. The data were analyzed by using SPPS program. It was used to find out mean score and standard deviation. The main findings show that the students are relative "highly" motivated and found to be slightly more "instrumentally" motivated to learn English. This reveals that instrumental motivation is a significant factor among this group of students learning English. Based on this study's findings, some relevant and useful motivational learning implications are recommended for enhancement and improvement of the students' motivation. Keywords Motivation IntroductionForeign language teaching, especially English in Indonesia is still far from successful. The students' English proficiency which formally has been studying since elementary school level is still considered as inadequate. It is proven by the findings, such as the students' score in a daily test at school or even national exam are still unsatisfactory. The low frequency of the usage of English among students is also a common thing in this country. It is caused by the feeling of anxiety and less of confident to communicate using English. Based on those problems, it is a must for the teacher to improve the quality of teaching English becomes effective and more efficient for the students.There are many types of research and theories discussed teaching and learning English in Indonesia. Most of them argue that there are some factors affect the success in teaching English. Those factors are a teacher, students, curriculum, teaching material, and learning facilities. Students are one of the important factors. They learn English because of the motivation that they have. The students' motivation will influence their success in learning. One research related to motivation shows that students' motivation has an important role in carrying the students becomes a success in English.There are two kinds of motivation in learning English as a second language as proposed by Gardner and Lambert (1972), namely integrative and instrumental motivation. Integrative motivation means the desire to learn a language in order to communicate with people from another culture who speak that language, while Instrumental motivation refers to the desire to learn a language because it would fulfill certain positive goals, such as getting a job, passing an examination, etc.The research was done by Marlina (2007) which related to students' motivation in learning English as the second language found that most of the students learn English because they want to get a better job, as they know English is an international language. This motivation refers to instrumental mot...

This study aimed at investigating the effect of Scripted Songs as a teaching technique on English competence of the fourth grade students of primary school in SD Saraswati Tabanan in academic year 2013/2014. Posttest only control group design was used as a research design. The population was all the fourth grade students. ThroughCluster Random Sampling technique, two classes were taken as the samples in this study, namely class 4B and 4C. Class 4B was assigned as the control group while class 4C as the experimental group. In total, seventy five students were taken as representative of the population. The students in experimental group were taught by using Scripted Songs, while the students in control group were taught by using Conventional Technique. At the end of treatment, both groups were given a posttest. The result of the posttest was then analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Based on the result of data analysis, it was found that the students who were taught by using Scripted Songs obtained better result than those who were taught by using Conventional Technique. It was proven by the mean score of the experimental group was 79.05, while the control group was 69.5. Moreover, the result of the independent sample t-test showed that the value of t observed (tobs) was 5.000. It was higher than the value of t critical value (tcv) was 1.99 (α= 0.05). This proved that there was a significant effect on English competence between experimental and control group.
The purpose of this study is to describe hydroponic vegetable products and analyze the marketing communication strategies of hydroponic vegetables using the marketing mix method. The result of this research showed that hydroponic technology was a method of farming using water media without soil media. This is done because the function of the soil as a supporter of plant roots and an intermediate nutrient solution can be replaced by streamlining or adding nutrients, water and oxygen through the media. With this technology, eating becomes a problem for producers to create marketing communications to attract consumers’ attention to this hydroponic vegetable product. It can be effective if marketing objectives can be achieved or beneficial to consumers, especially conventional farmers in the application of the function of hydroponic technology.
The purpose of the study was to determine the Coordination Function of the Environment and Forestry Service of the Riau Islands Province and the Tajungpinang City Environmental Service in Monitoring Mangrove Forests in Tanjungpinang City. In this study, the theory used by Hasibuan (2019:88). The population in the study amounted to 8 people, the data analysis used in this study was a qualitative descriptive data analysis technique. The conclusion obtained is that the Coordination Function of the Environment and Forestry Office of the Riau Islands Province in Supervision of Mangrove Forests in Tanjungpinang City is in accordance with their respective authorities although several things need to be improved. Then for the socialization that was carried out both to the community and to employees, it was found that the socialization was not comprehensive. Because the socialization carried out only in general terms, such as raising the theme of cleanliness and environmental protection, has not focused on monitoring mangroves. Before being able to implement a policy, the implementor must realize that a decision has been issued, there are often misunderstandings about the decisions that have been issued so that there are no misunderstandings, socialization must be carried out and that everything is coordinated even though it only occurs when the RTRW is drafted and problems are related to mangroves
