Abstract: This study attempted to investigate motivation of students towards English language learning in terms of motivational level, type and correlation between motivation and academic achievement (GPA) in English subjects. The instrument utilized was the five Likert scale questionnaire which was applied from the Attitudes and Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) of Gardner (1987), the original version. The participants were the 72 fourth year students majoring in English from the Faculty of Humanities, Kasetsart University, Bang Khen campus. The data was collected in a normal classroom and the data was transcribed into the statistical number such as frequency, percentage, mean score and standard deviation by MINITAB version 17 and Microsoft Excel. The results indicate that this group of students had high motivation to study English with both intrinsic and extrinsic type, and the mean score proved that the extrinsic motivation got a slightly higher mean score. Moreover, a correlation between motivation and academic achievement (GPA) in English subjects was not found in a significant level, either extrinsic or intrinsic regardless of students’ English proficiency level
