The purpose of this study is to examine the students’ integrative and instrumental motivation for learning English in the Algerian secondary schools and more precisely the third year of the secondary education (SE3) by getting feedback from SE3 students and interpreting the results obtained form the survey.

Finally, the research work concludes with some pedagogical recommendations which might be beneficial for the EFL teaching and learning process in general and the motivation of learners in particular with reference to culture teaching.
