Abstract

The present study focuses on social attributions towards English language learning among Iranian EFL students. In the present descriptive qualitative study, 495 Iranian EFL high school students were selected based on the cluster sampling design. English Learning Attribution questionnaire and a relevant structured open-ended interview were employed to collect data from the sample. The findings indicated that Iranian high school students attributed their success in language learning to effort, interest, and good preparation for exams (internal factors), and attributed their failure to teacher’s method, lack of having positive attitude to teachers, lack of teacher’s praise and encouragement, lack of having appropriate learning environment, and not having enough teacher’s help (external factors).
