Abstract

Motivation is the key factor to stimulate learning as it is part of a language learning process. A learner is suggested to retain good motivational level to ensure positive outcomes and successful achievement in second language learning. This study was conducted to investigate the instrumental and integrative motivation among higher learning undergraduates in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). An adapted version of Gardner’s Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) was used as research instrument and 100 undergraduates were selected as respondents. Results indicated that UTM undergraduates have high instrumental and integrative motivation towards second language learning.
