Abstract

vi ABSTRACT Renita Wulandari : Lecturer Personality Traits in Influencing Students’ English Learning Motivation at English Tadris Study Program of IAIN Curup NIM : 21551035 Advisor : Jumatul Hidayah, M.Pd. Co-Advisor : Sarwo Edy, M. Pd. This research investigates the personality traits of lecturers and their influence on students’ motivation to learn English at the English Tadris Study Program of IAIN Curup. The study applies the Big Five Personality Theory developed by Costa and McCrae (1992), which includes five dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. Using a mixed-method approach with a Sequential Explanatory Design, the research involved two phases. The quantitative phase used the Big Five Inventory-44 (BFI-44) questionnaire to assess the personality traits of six English lecturers. The qualitative phase employed semi-structured interviews with seven eighth-semester students, selected based on their MSLQ (Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire) scores, to explore their perceptions of how lecturers’ personality traits affect their English learning motivation. The findings revealed that most lecturers scored high in Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness, while scores in Extraversion and Neuroticism varied. Students perceived that lecturers with high levels of Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness positively influenced their learning motivation by fostering a supportive, engaging, and disciplined classroom environment. In contrast, high Neuroticism was perceived as reducing motivation due to negative emotional displays. These findings highlight the important role of lecturer personality traits in shaping students’ English learning motivation and provide valuable insights for enhancing teaching effectiveness in higher education.
