Abstract

This study aimed to investigate learners’ motivation in an English language training program as part of a community service activity. Learners were teachers at an elementary school located in East Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. A descriptive method was used to describe the qualitative data, and the instrument was a questionnaire with 10-item statements to obtain data on factors influencing teachers’ motivation. Furthermore, an interview was conducted with teachers to obtain in-depth data. The results showed most teachers agreed to study English because it was demanded in the workplace. Several factors influenced learners’ motivation, namely stakeholders demand and intention to stay current with modern trends. This study is expected to provide stakeholders with insights on how to effectively motivate teachers in English language training program.
