Abstrak

This study examines the correlation between gadget addiction and English learning motivation among seventh-grade students at Fadhilah Edu Center, Cibitung, Bekasi. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 30 students through an adapted Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version and Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery, supplemented by qualitative interviews and observations. Findings reveal that 50% of students exhibit moderate gadget addiction, with over half using gadgets more than four hours daily for non-academic purposes. Despite widespread device dependency, 66.7% demonstrate high English learning motivation. Correlation analysis shows controlled gadget use positively correlates with intrinsic and integrative motivation, enhancing cultural exposure and learning engagement through access to authentic English content. However, excessive use negatively impacts extrinsic motivation through distraction and reduced academic focus. Instrumental motivation remains stable across addiction levels, reflecting a strong awareness of the practical importance. Students categorize into three groups: productive users who leverage technology for learning, ambivalent users experiencing benefit-distraction tensions, and distracted users whose learning suffers significantly
