Motivation is a key concept to be success in learning. Student who has
high motivation would do the best in learning even though the materials were
felt difficult. On the contrary, student who has low motivation would get bored
and be indifferent in learning even though the materials given were so easy. In
line with this, this study tried to investigate students' motivation in learning
English, whether they had intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. The study was
conducted at English Department of Islamic State University (UIN) Ar-Raniry
Banda Aceh. The sample of this study was 142 English students from first, third,
fifth and seventh semesters. This study was a survey method and the technique
sampling used in this study was random sampling. Furthermore, the instrument
used to collect the data is questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 10
questions in which question 1-5 are questions for intrinsic motivation and
question 6-7 are questions for extrinsic motivation. The result of this study
shows that the total mean score of intrinsic motivation is higher than the total
mean score of extrinsic motivation 4.08 ˃ 3.21. It means that English students
at UIN Ar-Raniry had higher intrinsic motivation than extrinsic motivation in
learning English. In other words, the motivation to learn English that comes
