Motivation and Attitude of Intermediate Grades towards Language Learning

This study aimed to develop a guide for language learning by the learners’ preferences in terms of motivation and learning attitude within the three selected elementary schools located in Nasugbu and Tuy Districts. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing stratified random sampling to ensure representation from different demographic groups within the population. Data were collected through surveys utilizing adapted survey questionnaires and analyzed using statistical methods to determine any significant correlations. The study included elementary learners in the intermediate grade levels. It focused on determining learners’ motivation and attitude towards language learning and the main factors that highly influenced their motivation to learn English. The correlation between learners’ demographic profiles, attitudes, and motivation was identified. The findings showed that intermediate pupils possess high motivation and a positive attitude towards language learning. It was also discovered that respondents have a moderate personal attitude, while parents and teachers appear to have a huge influence on learners’ motivation to learn English. The researchers found that learners’ attitudes towards learning English have a significant relationship to their age and grade level profile. However, it is revealed that there is no significant relationship between their motivations and profiles. The study concluded that the instructional guide developed for learning English can be helpful and act as an additional teaching reference for the teachers.
