Motivation in English Language Learning. The current study aims at investigating the relationship between the learners- integrative and instrumental motivation and English language among Arab EFL learners. Motivation plays an important part in improving and developing the learners’ communicative ability. Attitudinal studies conducted on Arab students, such as those of Zughoul and Taminian (1984), Salih (1980) and Harrison et al. (1975), have consistently shown that Arab students are instrumentally motivated to learn English, and that they are well aware of the utility of knowing English. This means that the main stimulus for learning English is instrumental, to achieve a goal or a career. It is true that some learners are integrative motivated, but they are in a minority.
Keywords: EFL, motivation, attitudes, ethnicity, Druze, Muslims, Christians.
