Abstract
This thesis reports the results of the study into the influence of urban and rural context on motivation levels in young adolescent Croatian L2 learners of English. The aim of the study was to investigate whether urban context learners display higher motivation levels than rural context learners and whether the urban context facilitates motivation to learn English as an L2 better than the rural context. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire, administered to a total of 53 participants enrolled in a high school in the Croatian town of Koprivnica. The results show that urban context learners have higher motivation levels on two (out of 11) scales on the motivation questionnaire – Instrumentality and Ideal L2 self. Moreover, the results show that both groups of learners demonstrate an overall high level of motivation and a low level of language anxiety. The learners in both contexts show the highest motivation level on the International posture scale, indicating that they are highly aware of the importance of English as a lingua franca.
