Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language attitudes of Korean culture enthusiasts in Surabaya and what their motivations are in learning English and Korean language. The theory used to determine the respondents' language attitude is Rosenberg & Hovland's theory about the three components of attitude, namely the cognitive, affective, and conative components. Meanwhile, for motivation, the researcher uses the theory from Deci & Ryan about the types of motivation, namely extrinsic and intrinsic, also Gardner's theory regarding integrative and instrumental motivation. This study uses a descriptive mixed-method with a few simple calculations in the data analysis process, but the data is presented in a descriptive form to find out in more detail how the respondents' language attitude is based on the three components of attitude with the help of a percentage of the data obtained. Meanwhile, the motivation of Korean culture enthusiasts in Surabaya to learn English and Korean language was analyzed by identifying respondents' answers based on four types of motivation. The data in this study were obtained through a questionnaire in the form of a google form distributed via WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter and then analyzed with the help of Microsoft Excel. The results of this study indicate that the attitude of Korean culture enthusiasts in Surabaya towards English seen from the three components of attitude is included in the “Good” category or can be interpreted as positive attitude with an average total score is 3.76, while the attitudes towards the Korean language seen from the three components of attitude are also included in the “Good” category or can be interpreted as positive attitude with an average total score of 3.44. For motivation to learn both English and Korean language, the researcher found four categories of motivation owned by respondents, namely integrative, instrumental, intrinsic, and extrinsic motivation, so it cannot be determined which motivation is more important to each other, but it is clear that these motivations can help learning process and also helps in maintaining attitudes towards the languages being studied, namely English and Korean language.
