| dc.description.abstract | The present study explores whether the intrinsic and extrinsic motivational constructs are two independent orientations of motivation or, alternatively, two opposite poles of a continuum. Following a quantitative research approach, data were collected from a random sample of 279 college students, using Gardener’s Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). The data were statistically analyzed using Pearson’s correlation in SPSS. The results of the study suggest that different orientations of motivation, i.e. Intrinsic and Extrinsic or instrumental and integrative, are not conflicting, and they can co-exist. Additionally, the study endorses that there are no marked differences in the English language achievement of the intrinsically and the extrinsically motivated students, both male and female. Both sets of students show mixed results in terms of their marks obtained; whereas, any single orientation of motivation could not be clearly linked to any particular achievement level.
