The teachers must employ appropriate treatment and have motivational strategies to maintain students' enthusiasm in learning. Ample research has been conducted to explore teachers' motivational strategies in teaching English of primary and secondary schools. However, little study has been conducted in university level of students. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the use of motivational strategies by teachers in one of the Islamic universities in Indonesia. There were three different teachers as the participants of this research. A qualitative research design was employed to collect the data. Three different groups of students were involved for class observation. The data were collected from teachers by conducting classroom observation, interviews and video recording activity. The finding of the research revealed that each teacher has unique motivational strategies to teach EFL university students. Besides, in the context of Islamic-based university, students get more excited to learn English when the teachers were able to make a connection on English materials, the Islamic values and implication in the real life.

In response to the fact that college students complain on their unsuccessful story of their EFL learning experience such as the limited number of vocabulary, English Grammar confusion, low competence of English language skills, this article explores an alternative effective way of helping them to improve their English through Text-Based Learning (TBL) that the EFL learners can achieve good/excellent English skills. Iftanti (2015) in her study for example found that among Indonesian EFL learners, there SNAP TO READ Erna Iftanti, are some EFL college students who successfully established good habits in reading English for some factors such as personal, social, cultural, and technological factors. In addition, there are some successful stories which generally state that the success of EFL instruction is reported to be influenced by the appropriateness of the use of teaching techniques and or teaching media with the students' need. Teaching writing using comic strips through Process-Genre Based Approach (PGBA), for example, is proved to be able to successfully improve students' ability in writing if the stories used are appropriate with the EFL learners and the teacher's guidance during the writing process is sufficient (Megawati & Anugerahwati, 2012). Student teachers' writing ability in English can be developed by using Systemic Functional Linguistic Genre Pedagogy (SFL GP) (Emilia & Hamied, 2015).There is also a study demonstrating the successful learners of Senior High School in their writing skill that was identified by having used more learning strategies than the ones who are not successful (Mistar et.al.,2014). However, those research reports which demonstrate successful stories of EFL instruction only occurs in some certain contexts of teaching and learning English.On the other hand, there are also some unhappy stories which tell that although they have learnt English from their early age, they are not good at their English competence.

There are also some substantial unconstructive influences of the EFL Indonesian students' cultures and the non-conducive language environment which continuously challenge the English language teaching and bring about negative impact of the learning outcomes (Marcellino, 2015).In response to the fact that EFL instruction in Indonesia does not work as being expected, EFL teachers need to sustainably work on innovating a joyful instructional model which leads to the success story of the EFL teaching and learning. As the result of need analysis done through questioning and interviewing the college students of Post Graduate Program of State Accordingly, it is necessary to implement teaching strategy which is helpful and attracting them to be more actively participated during EFL instructional process. As a result, this hopefully leads to create a joyful learning atmosphere which will...
