This study aimed to explain the structural influence of the implementation of the communicative approach and the use of information technology in Indonesian language learning on students’ motivation and learning achievement. This research was conducted in Blitar, Indonesia, and 186 students were chosen as the samples. An explanatory research design was used in this research. The data collection techniques used questionnaires and documentation, while data analysis techniques used descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling. The results of the analysis showed that there was a direct effect of the communication approach and the use of information technology on students’ learning motivation. There was a significant direct effect of students’ learning motivation on students’ achievement in the Indonesian language class. The communicative approach had an indirect effect on students’ achievement and showed a stronger coefficient of the effect on learning motivation compared to the use of information technology.
