ABSTRACT
Introduction: A research conducted at STIKes Jenderal Achmad Yani Cimahi in 2010 indicated how students were still experiencing problems with their study where English is mediatory language. In particular, English textbooks, articles, and other resources were considered by the majority of the participants to be difficult to process. Despite their high motivation and attitude towards learning and using English, the participants scored low in their readability tests. Objective: This study continues to investigate factors that influence their ability in using English. It focuses on the factor of the language mastery in relations to the learner’s motivation and attitude towards English. Method: The descriptive investigation was conducted with participants from third year students of STIKes Jenderal Ahmad Yani, Cimahi by measuring their English skills with an international standardized English test and giving questionnaires on their attitude and motivation towards the importance of English. Result: The results showed that despite the low scores in the mastery of the language their high motivation and attitude also exhibited a need to have an approach different from the current methods to aid with their English skills enhancement, especially methods in their learning process. Discussion: Thus, insight gained may prove critical in building a suitable English learning program in the institute or other school with similar conditions.
