Abstract
Attitude and motivation are two abstract concepts of the human mind. These two aspects primarily play a significant role in determining students’ learning success. The current study is qualitative in nature and aims to explore the influence of secondary level Bangladeshi students’ socio-economic conditions in shaping their attitude and motivation towards English language learning. Data was collected from 15 secondary school students. The interview questions inquire of their family background, parental occupation, family income, their attitudes towards the English language and culture, and their motivation for learning the language. The findings denote that learners have a positive attitude towards the target language, and they are both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated to learn it. The implication of the study is that the findings may provide a remarkable insight into students' language learning issues, which may be useful for secondary level teachers and policymakers in designing a curriculum, lesson plan, and teaching pedagogy to divert students' psychology towards positive motivation and attitude towards the target language.
