Malaysian ESL learner's learning motivation and speaking skills will be analysed deeply in this research using two samples from a primary school which is located in a sub-urban area at Selangor. Purposive sampling was used in this study to ensure that the participants involved had the information that this study aimed to explore. The researcher used to teach English in SK Seafield 3 located in Subang Jaya. There are various problems faced by the researcher in his teaching career which leads to this research. One of the main problems faced by the researcher is the lack of motivation among the pupils when they are learning English. Although the researcher uses a variety of fun teaching methods because students continue to exhibit a lack of enthusiasm for studying English, particularly when it comes to speaking the language. Other colleagues of the researcher also faced this problem. Therefore, the researcher decided to carry out a deep research to identify how motivation affects the pupils to learn a language.
