الملخص EN

This study seeks to identify the attitudes of law students at the Arab American University-Jenin towards learning English as a foreign language.

To this end, the authors surveyed the opinions of 173 (58 female, 115 male) students using a questionnaire developed according to a 5-point Likert Scale.

Cronbach Alpha formula was used to determine the reliability coefficient of the questionnaire.

The collected data were analyzed using SPSS.

A descriptive analysis was made to measure the target students' attitudes (and thus the percentages, means and standard deviations of the gathered data).

Gender differences were also considered via an independent T- test.

The study found that law students at the Arab American University-Jenin have positive attitudes towards learning English, with no gender differences.
