It can be concluded that students could both highly integratively and instrumentally as well as intrinsically and extrinsically motivated to learn English as a foreign language as these two types of motivations cannot be separated one from another, are not exclusively secluded and both of the motivation types influence learning. With respect to the factors affecting students‘ learning motivation, learning environment, along with the rule enforcement, is considered as a very influential factor to language learning. In an English course in which students‘ main goal or motivation to learn is to be able to speak English, students‘ motivation plays a significance role upon their willingness to speak English. Learning motivation and willingness to speak English were proven to influence each other. It is important, however, for teacher to develop a fun motivating teaching method and to provide more exposure to English to the students. Since more exposure and the more practical daily use of English will give broader opportunity for learners to learn and acquire language faster, the policy maker should make policy that encourage students to use English in their daily life so that they can learn and acquire the language faster. And the curriculum developer should develop curriculum that give more study time with more exposure to English.
