Abstract

One part that can indicate the successful or unsuccessful learning of foreign language is students‟ language attitude towards the language. Therefore, this research aims to portray the students‟ attitude towards English, and how they apply their attitude in their daily life. In addition, it tries to find out the students‟ orientation in studying English. Subject of this research is the students of English Department UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. The total number of respondents is 147 students. Collecting data is done through five-point Likert scale questionnaire survey. The questionnaire consists of 38 statements. Furthermore, to gain better understanding to the object, the researcher applies a semi structure interview to some selected participants. The result of the study shows that the respondents tend to have positive attitude towards English. They know the importance of English in globalization era, learn English proudly, and intend to practice English well and correctly. However, in their daily life, they tend to do the opposite of the attitude. They rarely practice 4 (four) English skills – speaking, listening, reading, and writingoutside the campus. Moreover, they seldom use English as a communication tool with their classmates. It indicates that the cognitive dissonance happens; their attitude and behavior are different. For respondents‟ orientation in learning English, they are influenced by both instrumental orientation and integrative orientation.
