Title : Exploring Students’ Perception Toward teacher’s Motivational Teaching Strategies in Teaching English (Case Study at SMP Darul Qur’an Aceh Besar)

Keywords: Acehnese EFL students, Motivational teaching strategies, Persepsi Siswa
Untuk memotivasi siswa dalam proses belajar-mengajar bahasa Inggris, Motivational teaching strategy merupakan tawaran untuk seorang guru untuk diterapkan di dalam kelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi persepsi siswa terhadap motivational teaching strategy yang dikembangkan oleh Dornyei (2001) dan mendeskripsikan the nature of the students and the teacher’s motivational teaching strategy. Studi kualitatif ini berfokus pada case study sebagai metode penelitian. Subjek penelitian nya adalah 22 siswa laki-laki kelas dua SMP Darul Qur’an Aceh Besar, dan seorang guru bahasa Inggris. Data dikumpulkan dari close-ended questionnaire, interview guide dan observation checklist. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan ada 10 motivational teaching strategy yang sangat penting untuk diterapkan guru dalam proses belajar-mengajar bahasa Inggris, beserta alasannya menurut pendapat siswa. Selain itu, ada 22 motivational teaching strategies yang diterapkan guru, yang sebagian besar mendapat reaksi positif dari siswa. Temuan ini dapat menjadi reflective-teaching bagi guru bahasa Inggris untuk mempertahankan, mengembangkan, dan menerapkan strategi yang sesuai, dengan melihat persepsi siswa sebagai bahan pertimbangan. Dengan adanya keterbatasan penelitian, seperti penelitian yang pertama kali dilakukan di Aceh, subjek penelitian yang belum terlalu menyeluruh, dan keterbatasan waktu dalam melakukan penelitian, diharapkan peneliti selanjutnya dapat melakukan penelitian yang sama secara mendalam di Aceh.
