This study aimed to investigate the influence of learning motivation toward students' writing ability of recount text at Tenth Grade Computer Network Engineering (TKJ) of Sakti Gemolong Vocational School Sragen. This study referred to some theories of experts in motivational study, it told that motivation is a significant factor that affects students learning in education. This research used a quantitative research with correlational study by using cross-sectional survey which the researcher accumulated the data of 36 respondents (X TKJ B) from 142 population as a sample that taken through purposive sampling technique. The correlational study was most appropriate for this study because it allows two variables to show if they have a positive or negative relationship and examines the hypothesis. The data collection used a questionnaire, test, and documentation. Then, the data analysis used product moment and simple linear regression. The researcher analyzed the quality of the two variables by using distribution frequency table. The researcher found that the quality of students’ learning motivation in range 107-118, and the quality of students’ writing ability was also medium in the range 76-86. The result also showed that the regression similarity is Y = a + bX2 = 40, 679 + 0, 357X2. There was a significant influence on students' learning motivation toward students’ writing ability. Moreover, the researcher found that Fcount > Ftabel is 12,011 > 4,13 and 0,40 ≤ rxy correlation between students’ learning motivation and students’ writing ability of recount text. So, if the degrees of students' learning motivation is higher, so the writing ability of recount text is also higher.
