Pakistani L2 learners?
What is the level of students’ motivation of English
language learning as it relates to the Pakistani community?
Is there any significant difference between learning
motivation of high academic achievers (CGPA>3.20) and
the learning motivation of other learners?
What are the pedagogical implications of the research
findings?
7. SIGNIFICANCE

instrumental orientations of the motivation of Pakistani ESL
learners.
This research will provide an opportunity to the ESL teachers
as well as authorities to know about ESL motivation types

SAMPLE AND INSRUMENT
10. PROCEDURE OF ANALYSIS
Statistical devices will be used to analyze this
numerical data obtained from the sample e.g. Mean,
Standard deviation, T-charts.
Employing statistical package for social sciences (SPSS)
in term of mean descriptive statistics.
11. LIMITATIONS
This study will be conducted on the ESL learners of only two
English language departments of Pakistani universities of
Lahore.
Due to limited time frame therefore cannot be generalized for all
the ESL learners .
As motivation is a social phenomenon(variable) can vary from
culture to culture and society.
Motivation is only one important aspect of second language
learning, other five aspects as described by Gardner (1985)
should also be considered for proper understanding .
12. RESEARCH FINDINGDS
CONCLUSION /RESEARCH FINDINGS:
After the analysis of the numerical data obtained from the
research sample, we can describe and interpret it and will
give our research findings about the particular area of
interest (motivation) of this research.
