Abstract:	This study investigates the role of motivation in foreign language learning and the factors that might affect learners' motivation. 137 secondary school students took part in the study. Correlations between the students' English proficiency and motivation were performed. Questionnaires on the ideal English teacher and the students' actual English teachers were also delivered. The purpose of correlating the ideal English teacher with the students' real English teachers was to investigate if this factor might affect student's motivation and consequen tly students' English proficiency. The results indicated that teachers affect students' motivation and that there exist significant correlations between motivation and foreign language learning.
