- Abstract
Students’ motivation is an essential part of EFL teaching and learning process at any level of education. Secondary school is a level of education with a milieu in which students, who are adolescents, need motivation for learning to be successful learners and have a better future. For that kind of objectives, the EFL teachers carry out motivational strategies to help the students to do so. The motivational strategies done by one teacher are different from another. This current study aims at exploring motivational strategies used by EFL secondary teachers with different gender, male and female. Qualitative research design, with observation and interview, was conducted to explore the practical differences. The participants involved in this study were two teachers with different gender, male teacher and female teacher, as well as their students. Through this study, it was found out that there were differences between the motivational strategies done by a male teacher and female teacher which related to their gender. Although they did the same kind of some motivational strategies, the way and the work of those strategies were not the same. The result of this study is expected to give a contribution towards not only the conceptual knowledge related to motivational strategies and gender but also the practice of EFL teaching and learning.
