Abstract

This research aimed to examine the relationship between motivation and self- efficacy of students in introduction-to-college-English (ICE) classes. A foundational English program required for all first-year students at a university in Yogyakarta Special Province. It was conducted using quantitative method, which involved distributing paper-based questionnaires to each class. The data was collected from 87 non-English department students in 6 classes consisting of 2 classes at each level (1, 2, 3). Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used to answer three research questions. Three main findings were identified. First, the average level of students' motivation in learning English was high. Then, the average level of students' self-efficacy was at a moderate level. Finally, this study found a statistically significant positive weak correlation between the students' motivation and self-efficacy. The findings suggest that teachers need to consider motivation and self-efficacy as interrelated factors in English language learning that should be strengthened and fostered through well-designed instructional activities.
