Abstract

The analysis of the results generated by the questionnaire confirmed the research hypotheses; that there is a positive correlation between learners’ attributions and their motivation to learn English as a foreign language. A direct proportionality has been proven to exist between learners’ internal, controllable attributions and their high levels of motivation. Moreover, the learners’ conscious analysis of their attributions, which enables them to maintain high levels of motivation, increased as these learners advanced across the four levels of the curriculum.
