Abstract


English online learning has been largely practiced nowadays as a result of global adaptations during the pandemic. However, learners’ motivation is known to differ between online and onsite learning modes. This study examines the correlation between learners’ motivation and their perception of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) in an online English course. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 100 learners of an online English course in Indonesia. The results show a positive correlation between learners’ motivation to learn English online and their perceptions of CoI regarding Social Presence, Teaching Presence, and Cognitive Presence. Moreover, students’ motivation was affected by their educational background and socio-economic status, but not by gender.
