The students who had intrinsic motivations were active in speaking activity because they derived from themselves. It reflects the internal drive to achieve personal goals, serving as primary motivator for success. Meanwhile, the students who had extrinsic motivation were active in speaking because they have expectation to get high score, and other reward from the teacher, and praise from the teacher and friends.
