Many factors cause students to fail in learning, especially if students are tired, sleepy, hungry and very formal meetings. It is undeniable that it will cause boredom and laziness which in turn leads to an unpleasant atmosphere, not passionate, or lazy to think more deeply. The biggest result of this condition can make the material delivered incomprehensible so that all learning becomes useless. The author argues that the use of Ice Breaking can have a significant influence on students' learning motivation. So the researcher intends to find out the motivation of student learning by using Ice Breaking in English subjects. In this study, the author used a pre-experimental method using the one-group method "pre-test and post-test design”. To determine whether there was a significant effect of ice breaking on motivation, the authors used comparative techniques to analyze and compare students' grades before and after being taught using ice breaking. Based on the data from the research in the discussion, it was concluded that the application of Ice breaking affects student learning motivation. This can be seen from the average score of students before using Ice Breaking is low at 51.93% and after using Ice Breaking the average score obtained by students is high at 84.6%. Based on the calculated value with the t-test table (paired sample t-test) shows a significant difference between the results before and after ice breaking. To see the value of ttable, it is based on degrees of freedom whose magnitude is N-1, which is 30-1 29. A value of 29 at a significant level of 5% is obtained ttable 1.6991. Based on the results of t-test analysis (paired sample t-test), Then it can be obtained that tcount is greater than ttable is 2.6586 1.6991 and Sig. (2 tailed) 0,000 0,05 then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. So it can be concluded that there is an influence of ice breaking on student learning motivation, it can be concluded that the use of Ice Breaking affects the learning outcomes of seventh graders.
