Abstract

The world is becoming more globalized. This condition has affected many human life aspects, including the language for communication. English, which is considered the most international language today, becomes even more central than ever before. Around 375 million people speak English as their first language, while more than doubled use it as their second language. In almost 70 countries, English has received special status to be the official language in addition to their primary languages [1]. The increasing globalization leads to the integration and mutual reliance between multiple cultures, wide spreading connectivity, social technology, economy, politics, and ecology which occur in our daily lives. Just as an illustration, studying overseas has become one among the world phenomena urged by economic desires, cultural interaction, political issues or the easiness of travel [2], [3]. English has become a school subject around the world, and mastering the language also provides an economic benefit, as nowadays, having English skill may offer a competitive edge in a global job market, such as business and tourism [4], [5]. Thus, investigating students’ motivation in this regard is crucial.
