Abstract

This study was aimed at finding out the correlation between students’ motivation and English achievement, academic dishonesty and English achievement, motivation in learning English and academic dishonesty, the correlation between two predictor variables (students’ motivation and academic dishonesty) and the criterion variable (English achievement), and the contribution between two predictor variables and the criterion variable. More than seven hundred eleventh and twelfth grade of senior high schools students in Palembang were chosen as the sample using stratified random sampling technique. The students were asked to respond to two questionnaires (motivation and academic dishonesty questionnaires) and to answer an English achievement test. Pearson product moment coefficient correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that, first, the students’ motivation in learning English was significantly correlated to their English achievement. Second, there was no significant correlation between academic dishonesty and English achievement. Third, there was no significant correlation between students’ motivation in learning English and academic dishonesty. Forth, there was a significant correlation between two predictor variables (students’ motivation and academic dishonesty) and the criterion variable (English achievement). Finally, there was 8.8% contribution of predictor variables toward English achievement.
