Journal Title: Tiltai - Year 2015, Vol 71, Issue 2

Abstract

Motivation has long been identified as one of the main factors affecting the English language learning. The study examines the type and level of ESP learning motivation (extrinsic and intrinsic) of 148 first-year undergraduate students of Klaipėda University as well as their attitudes towards learning the English language. Identification of the kind of students’ motivation and their attitudes to learning will help to formulate measures for the improvement of students’ learning motivation and the subject learning quality.
