Abstract


The purpose of this research was to investigate the correlation between students' motivation and English academic performance, the correlation between students' self-regulated learning and English academic performance, and the correlation between students' motivation and self-regulated learning together toward English academic performance at an East Kalimantan private university.  The first semester of non-English students, a total of 276 students, was the subject of study. The information was gathered using a set of questionnaires adopted from (Pintrich & Groot, 1989). The instruments included a questionnaire for collecting data on students’ motivation and self-regulated learning strategy, as well as documented results of students’ English performance, obtained from the averages of their English Mid-term and Final Exam. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis and simple correlations utilizing Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results showed that: 1) There was a slight significant correlation between students’ motivation and English academic performance 2) There was no significant correlation between students’ self-regulated learning strategies and English academic performance 3). There was no correlation among the motivation and self-regulated learning strategies towards students’ English academic performance.
