Abstract

ABSTRACT Teacher Strategies in Increasing Students’ Motivation in Learning English at SMA NEGERI 01 ABUNG SEMULI By Nezard Achmad Fachrezy This research aims to describe the teacher’s strategies in increasing students’ motivation in learning English at SMA Negeri 1 Abung Semuli. Motivation plays a crucial role in the learning process, as it affects students’ participation, confidence, and learning outcomes. Therefore, this study focuses on how teachers apply instructional strategies to support students’ motivation in English language learning. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research design. The data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation. The participants of this research were an English teacher and students of class XI.6 at SMA Negeri 1 Abung Semuli. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as the theoretical framework to explain students’ learning motivation. The findings indicated that students showed increased motivation, reflected in their active participation, willingness to express opinions, and improved confidence during English learning activities. These motivational improvements were related to the fulfillment of Maslow’s five levels of needs: physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs. The teacher addressed these needs through structured pre-teaching, whilst-teaching, and post teaching activities, as well as strategies such as group discussion, interactive communication, positive reinforcement, appreciation, and encouragement. The study concludes that teaching strategies based on students’ psychological needs effectively enhance students’ motivation and engagement in learning English. Keywords : teacher strategies, students’ motivation, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, English learning
