The population sample was 90 students. The research data was taken from the questionnaires from the students and analyzed using SPSS software. In identifying the data, the author used a survey method to find out the effect of learning methods on learning motivation and writing ability. Among the factors that should be researched further are teaching styles and their effectiveness when paired with student motivation towards writing. The conclusions derived from the research are that the learning method and the learning motivation impacted the ability to draft descriptive text, and learning motivation is important and should be practiced for proficient English language acquisition.
