Students who are motivated to learn can be seen through their engagement that shown during the teaching and learning process. This is also the case for engagement, where students who are more engaged are students who are motivated to learn. However, previous studies have shown that students with poor achievements lack in motivation and engagement in learning. The question here is this: Are students less motivated in engaged in all subjects or only on certain subjects? Because of that, by focusing on writing skills in the Malay Language subject, a descriptive survey study using questionnaires was conducted. 166 questionnaires using the 4-point Likert scale have been distributed to three schools. As a result of this, the findings show that students who are low in achievement have high learning motivation (mean = 3.03, s.d = 0.38) and engagement (mean = 3.9, s.d = 0.39). The finding is clearly contradictive with previous studies. Because of that, more studies are suggested for deeper understanding of the matter what are the causes and the factors that make students highly motivated and engaged in learning writing skills. Is it because of the teaching approach, parents' influence, selfrealization of the students or other factors? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
