Abstract

The topic of this thesis is motivation and language-related attitudes among secondary school students. The focus is on informal, out-of-class exposure to English and its impact on motivation and attitudes towards the language. Moreover, the study analyses learners’ types of motivation and motivational intensity. In the first part, the thesis provides theoretical background and previous research, while the second part describes the procedure of the presented research with the results and following discussion. Results show that learners are moderately motivated to learn English and it is mostly for practical purposes, such as school, work, travelling and leisure time activities. Participants have mostly positive attitudes towards the language and it is closely connected to motivational intensity and presence of English in their everyday life.
