Foreign language learning is a complex process and is influenced by various factors.
The attitude of students towards language learning is a major decisive factor in this
process; therefore, the current study was carried out to explore this phenomenon.
The students of English Works Program Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan were the target
population for the current study. The said program was initiated by a Karachi
based organization which enrolled fifty students for a 240 hours certificate course
in English language. The students already had some formal education ranging from
Intermediate to Masters level and belonged to different age groups. The aim of
this quantitative study was to investigate their language learning attitudes from
three aspects: behavioral, cognitive and emotional. For data collection purposes,
a questionnaire comprising 30 closed-ended items was adapted from Eshghinejad,
(2016), Boonrangsri, Chuaymankhong, Rermyindee, & Vongchittpinyo, (2004)
and Gardner (1985). This was followed by descriptive and inferential statistical
analysis by using independent sample t-test (SPSS-22). The results show that the
students have positive attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language.
