dc.description.abstractIn today’s world English has become the lingua franca and there are millions of English learners all around world. In Turkey, when students get into university, thousands of them attend one-year language courses called as preparatory class (prep class) to improve their skills in English before they start their own majors. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the prep class students’ attitudes toward learning English and their academic success. In this study, quantitative research methods were employed and correlational research design was utilized to find the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The participants of this study are prep class students in Duzce University in 2014-2015 academic year. Research data was collected with one subtest of Gardner’s (1985) Attitude and Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) which is originally comprised of 11 subtests. Four of the subtests were adapted and translated into Turkish by Doğan (2009). One of them called as Attitudes toward Learning English was administered to all students of prep classes for this study. 364 students’ responses were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Tukey HSD test and Pearson Correlation. The main finding of the study is that students have positive attitude toward learning English but their mean score of academic success is really low. Also, it is found that there is a positive relationship (r=0,545), (p=0,000) between students’ attitudes toward learning English and their academic success. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.en_US
