The research that the researcher intends to perform in extralinguistic study is by looking at the achievement of Malay language (BM) in Chinese school (SJKC) has been conducted in many researchers. However, the study of the most dominant factor of motivational, whether intrinsic or extrinsic that affects the achievement of BM among Chinese students in SJKC is still lacking. In this regard, this study outlines the extralinguistic factors in the achievement of BM among Chinese students at SJKC Chung Hwa, Besut, Terengganu. The purpose of this study is to identify the extralinguistic factors that are the most dominant motivation, whether intrinsic motivation or extrinsic motivation that affects the achievement of BM Chinese students. The theory used is Gardner's Theory (2005) which explains that the ability and motivation are two important factors that are related to the excellent achievement of the second language in the school. This research uses the Attitude Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) questionnaire by Gardner 2005 which has been adapted to the objectives of this study. Data analysis is done qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative is through observation in the classroom and interviews with teachers that teach BM. Quantitative result is use to find percentage of data obtained through the questionnaire filled by respondents. This study was conducted on primary schools in Jerteh city. Respondents of the study are 40 students of 9 years olds from SJKC Chung Hwa. The findings showed that respondents were more motivated to be extrinsic than intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is an instrumental factor such as expecting rewards in the form of gifts, praise, grading and so on that has caused respondents to be interested in mastering BM as second language. The results of the study are expected to provide a comprehensive picture of the importance of motivation towards the mastery of the BM especially for non-Malay students to better understand and love BM as their second language and to make teaching and learning more fun and innovative.
