questionnaire and the interview. Translation of Google Translate is considered as a
source of learning motivation with a very high level of value for students as 3.59 in
average or 89.75% out of eighteen students for further learning of English. The main
reason of students in using Google Translate to learn English was easy access in
learning meaning of English words through spelling and translation with the method
of using Image Translation as the most preferred method according to the interviewed
students. The additional reason of students using Google Translate to learn English
was to learn pronunciation of new words based on the valid pronunciation from
Google Translate feature with the method of using Speak to Translate as the second
most preferred method according to the students interviewed. Students claimed in the
interview that were motivated to learn English due to the practicality and effectivity
of Google Translate application in translating texts without the need to find
alphabetical word order such as in a conventional dictionary. Students were more
intrinsically motivated through consideration of the value toward the practicality and
accessible tool of Google Translate itself in using the tool to learn English.
