This research aimed at investigating the students' motivation in English learning as a second language. The method used was a survey by randomly asking the students in Pritchard English Academy (PEACE) to fill out a questionnaire which adapted from Attitude Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) designed by R.C. Gardner. The questionnaire was administered to a group of 30 students who come from intermediate until advanced level. The data were analyzed by using SPPS program. It was used to find out mean score and standard deviation. The main findings show that the students are relative "highly" motivated and found to be slightly more "instrumentally" motivated to learn English. This reveals that instrumental motivation is a significant factor among this group of students learning English. Based on this study's findings, some relevant and useful motivational learning implications are recommended for enhancement and improvement of the students' motivation. Keywords Motivation IntroductionForeign language teaching, especially English in Indonesia is still far from successful. The students' English proficiency which formally has been studying since elementary school level is still considered as inadequate. It is proven by the findings, such as the students' score in a daily test at school or even national exam are still unsatisfactory.

SMAN 1 Blahbatuh is one of public schools in Bali that has complete and adequate facilities to support teaching and learning activities. The school also has experienced and supportive teachers who are experts on their field. However, during observation found that some teachers do not familiar with state-of-the-art technology for teaching and learning activities. That case leads to ineffective online lesson where the teachers are expected to use various technology in order to support the lessons. This is a challenge faced by SMAN 1 Blahbatuh in implementing online learning on this pandemic situation. To overcome this problem, training related to the implementing “Animation” Digital Literacy culture-based as an online learning media had been carried out. This training implements “Animation” Digital Literacy through Culture-Based English Teaching. In addition, a training on the use of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in online teaching was also carried out, to further maximize the use of online media in the lessons. The training was held for two days involving 11 teachers to take part into it. In this training, they were given a workshop to create 'animated' media that aims to attract students' interest in learning and improve their literacy.
