For correlation, this research uses Pearson Product Moment. The results show that there is a correlation between students' verbal-linguistic intelligence and learning motivation, as evidenced by the value r = 0.415. The correlation is in the moderate category. This means the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected while the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
