Maeng & Lee (2015) state motivation is one of the important factors in the success of learning English as foreign language. English teachers often say that motivation influences the success of learners (Dornyei, 2001). It means that how successful the students depend on how motivated they are. Without motivation, success will be hard to come by in the learning process. Many students in schools feel demotivated toward learning English.
