Abstrak Meskipun motivasi dianggap penting sebagai salah satu faktor utama penentu pencapaian belajar siswa, pokok persoalan berkaitan dengan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi motivasi siswa dalam mempelajari mata kuliah tertentu, khususnya menulis Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing yang berkaitan dengan para mahasiswa Indonesia, belum dikaji secara mendalam. Kajian dalam makalah ini bertujuan untuk meneliti faktor motivasi yang dirasakan oleh para mahasiswa Indonesia di kelas menulis Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing mereka. Peserta dalam kajian ini adalah 19 mahasiswa semester pertama di kelas Creative Writing F di Program Studi Pendidikan Guru Bahasa Inggris, Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana, tahun ajaran 2014/2015. Data penelitian diambil dari jurnal reflektif dimana para peserta menuliskan refleksi mereka berkaitan dengan pokok persoalan tersebut. Analisa data nampak membuktikan bahwa kinerja positif seorang guru, teman sekelas yang inspiratif, orang tua yang memotivasi, dan suasana kelas yang positif merupakan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi motivasi belajar para mahasiswa di dalam kelas mereka. Pada akhirnya, kajian ini nampak mengindikasikan pentingnya kolaborasi konstruktif antara guru, mahasiswa, dan orang tua sebagai faktor utama penentu motivasi belajar dan pencapaian akademis para siswa di dalam kelas menulis mereka.Kata-kata kunci: motivasi, faktor motivasi, menulis Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing, kelas Creative Writing AbstractDespite the essence of motivation as one of primary determinants for students’ learning achievement, issues of factors influencing students’ motivation in learning a particular subject, particularly English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing with regard to Indonesian university students, have not been discussed sufficiently. The study reported in this paper aims to explore motivational factors perceived by Indonesian university students in their EFL writing classroom. The participants of the study were 19 freshmen at Creative Writing Class F within the English Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Language and Literature, Satya Wacana Christian University (ED-SWCU), academic year 2014/2015. Data was collected through reflective journals in which the participants wrote their reflections dealing with the issues. The data analysis appeared to prove that positive teacher’s performance, inspiring classmates, motivational parents, and positive classroom atmosphere were primary factors influencing the students’ learning motivation in their classroom. Finally, the present study would seem to indicate the importance of constructive collaboration among teachers, students, and parents in determining the students’ learning motivation and academic achievement in their EFL writing classroom.Keywords: motivation, motivational factors, EFL writing, Creative Writing class

The aim of the study is to examine the factors that influence technical college students to choose English-learning websites. The subjects were 165 students from a technical college in Southern Taiwan. The instrument was a questionnaire with three factors about choosing English-learning websites. One hundred sixty-five subjects completed a 10-minute questionnaire about English-learning websites in March 2017. The researchers collected the data from the questionnaire and analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results revealed that most subjects stated that they liked to learn English, but went online to learn English less than one hour per week, and most subjects agreed that learning English online was helpful and English was important for their work and academy. The results also showed that most subjects believed English was related to a higher salary and future promotions, and they planned to improve their English. In addition, the results indicated that the subjects paid more attention to the practicality and convenience of an English-learning website than to the enjoyment of it. In this paper, the researchers draw conclusions and discuss the teaching and research implications for the future.

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the entrepreneurial success of rural women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. Non-probability sampling specifically convenience sampling is used to draw the sample and data is collected using the self-administered survey. Regression analysis and descriptive statistics are used to analyze the data. The study discloses that motivational factors, government policy and financial support have significant influence on the rural women entrepreneurial success in Bangladesh. Due to lack of suitable training and proper development as well as ICT knowledge, the rural women of Bangladesh could not accomplish the achievement. Half of the total populations of Bangladesh are female and most of them live in rural areas. Therefore, the government and the policymakers in Bangladesh should develop the potential of rural women entrepreneurs by providing development facilities, proper training, and ICT knowledge.
