This study has the purpose of knowing what motivate and demotivate senior high school students to learn English. There are two motivation factors which would be explored in this research such as integrative and instrumental motivation and five demotivation factors like personal, material, teacher, friends, and school facilities factor. There were seventy - five respondents from private senior high school who were participating in the survey. The research was conducted by distributing a paper-based questionnaire to the students. After the researcher finished calculating the answer, the writer carried on the interview with eight chosen respondents because of their inconsistency and contradictory answers. The result of this study is the students in the school were more motivated integratively than instrumentally because they are highly exposed with English language and culture through the song, film, and game which they enjoyed. On the other hand, the factor which demotivating students the most were non – psychological factors as the exam-oriented material and school facilities which rarely used in teaching learning activities. Besides, psychological factor like personal, teacher, and friends also take part in demotivating the students, even though they were not dominant factor
