Abstract

English is a widely used language; it plays a significant part in fostering relationships and communication among

speakers of many cultures and languages. The desire to learn English will also motivate students as they may

prefer to travel overseas for better income, meet more people using English to comprehend their skills, or so

students can meet particular educational criteria. Students won't succeed in their efforts or in their hopes of

learning if they lack significant motivation. This study shows intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in English

language learning perceived by students. The studies focus mainly on the high school students of Santhiphap

High School in Luanprabang Lao. The researcher selected 70 participants as a sample for the study and used a

questionnaire as a source for selecting the data. The researcher also used both English and Lao scripts in the

questionnaire.
