Abstract
The study of attitudes to foreign languages learning has not a long history. The present study
investigates what attitudes students in upper secondary school have towards the English language
and their possible effects on learning it in terms of positive and negative preferences. The study
is conducted through the descriptive method using the quest which is based on a questionnaire as
a data collection tool. The sample of this study is a group ( 80) of eighty students aged between
17 and 20 . They have been studying English as a part of their school syllabus for 7 years. The
study shows that the students have acknowledged the status of the English language in the world
and its function as an international language as well as its function as a tool for communicative
purposes. The study concludes with Learners’ positive attitudes in general towards the English
language as well as learning English.
