The sample included 98 engineering undergraduate students from Universiti Malaysia Perlis, attending the Foundation English course in 2013. The instruments included a set of questionnaire and two parallel vertsions of the Quick Placement Test (QPT) provided by University Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. The collected data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation and t-test. The findings indicated that learners' learning-related behavior had a positive relationship with their language learning motivation, both as a whole and individually, with significant correlation at the 0.01 level. In addition, male and female students were not significantly different in their motivation to learn English. 2014-05-22T07:57:23Z 2014-05-22T07:57:23Z 2014-02 Working Paper http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34641 en Proceeding of Symposium of International Language & Knowledge (SiLK 14);2014 Universiti Malaysia Perlis Centre of International Languages
