Abstract EN
This study investigated the effect of an intensive English language program on EFL students’ motivation.
The sample consisted of six male and six female classroom sections of first year university students from the Preparatory Year at King Saud University.
Students’ motivations were measured three times; one at the beginning of the program, one after two months (eight weeks) and the third time was after four months (16 weeks).
The students’ motivation level was measured against a self-reported learner motivation questionnaire.
The results revealed significant effect of the intensive English course on EFL students’ motivation towards learning English language.
