The current status of English as an international or global language is underpinned by its wide use in a range of fields such as politics, science and technology, education, information technology, international trade and industry (Lauder, 2008). 

English language teaching and learning in Indonesia, as in many Asian countries, is taught and learned in schools and universities as a foreign language (EFL) rather than as a second language (L2). Since English in Indonesia is a foreign language, it means that learning process takes place mainly in classrooms (Liando, et al., 2005). Therefore, in order to have an optimal learning outcome, there must be an optimal teaching-learning process in the classroom. In relation with ‘optimal’ learning, many educators and researchers believe that motivation is demonstrated to be one of the main determinants of second language learning achievement in numerous studies (Oxford & Shearin, 1994). Further, Cohen and Dörnyei (2002) assert: "Motivation is often seen as the key learner variable because without it, nothing much happens". 

Moreover, In line with that thought, strategies in motivating learners are often explored as one of the essential variables for triggering learners’ motivation. Since the importance of motivation is realized, it indeed becomes one of the most prominent researches in the area of L2 acquisition. (Oxford & Shearin, 1994). Motivations and language learning have been centered on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and integrative and instrumental motivations (Oxford & Shearin, 1994; Bradford, 2007).
