Attitudes of State School Students Towards Learning English as a Foreign Language

Abstract

The purpose of this case study is to examine attitudes of state school students towards learning English both the language itself and as a lesson. It is aimed to see how their attitudes differ depending on the gender and how these attitudes might impact the outcomes of the learning process. The study was conducted at Celalettin Sayhan State School in Adana with 50 Turkish EFL learners. The gathered data were deeply analyzed according to positive or negative attitudes of the students. The survey reveals the fact that how the results differ from a previous one in the same subject and it emphasizes the importance of learning English. It is thought that the results of this study can be evaluated as a kind of feedback for future studies.
