| Summary: | Students' achievements in English as a second language (ESL) have always been an issue in Malaysia. The
government has put in efforts to improve students' proficiency level of English; yet students have not been
performing well. This paper is an attempt to determine the purpose of the learners in learning English and to
investigate the relationship between the orientations towards their performance in ESL. A purposeful
sampling in survey design was used in collecting the data. 30 Maktab Rendah Sains MARA Serting students
were chosen as the respondents. This data then was analysed to get the inferential statistics. It was later
found that learners who learned English under the either integrative or instrumental orientation have no
relationships towards their ESL performance. |
