AB  - Bu çalışma, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümü öğrencilerinin yabancı dil öğrenme çabalarını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Betimsel tarama deseninde gerçekleştirilen araştırmaya toplam 150 lisans öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırma betimsel tarama deseninde tasarlanmış ve toplam 150 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır.  Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yabancı dil öğrenme çabasını ölçmek için Yabancı Dil Öğrenme Çabası Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizi ölçek ve alt ölçekler için popülasyon dağılımının normalliği göz önünde bulundurularak parametrik ve parametrik olmayan testler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler doğrultusunda, öğrencilerin dil öğrenme çabasını sıklıkla gösterdiği ve prosedürel çabanın en yüksek düzeyde gösterilen çaba olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Belirlenen öğrenci özelliklerinin çaba üzerindeki etkisine bakıldığında, yaş ve algılanan yabancı dil düzeyinin anlamlı bir etkisi görülmezken cinsiyet ve eğitim yılı değişkenlerine göre öğrenci cevaplarında anlamlı farklılaşma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kız öğrencilerin çaba düzeyi erkek öğrencilere oranla daha yüksek bulunmuş; gösterilen dil öğrenme çabasının eğitim yılı ilerledikçe düştüğü, yalnızca son sınıf öğrencilerinin tüm öğrenci grupları arasında en yüksek çaba düzeyine sahip sınıf olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar tartışılarak öneriler sunulmuştur.
