negative way and discover whether gender, type of education and the level of
the students have an impact on their motivation. The data gathered from 205
prep-class students at Pamukkale University School of Foreign Languages showed
that although there were no differences in the factors in terms of learners’
type of education and the level of English, an important and meaningful
difference between male and female learners <span>was </span>
found. Based on the findings, the implications of the results and suggestions
for future research are discussed. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Leyla HARPUTLU}
