A Comparative Study of The L2 Motivational Self System of Secondary Students in Public and Private Schools of Lahore

    In the modern world, learning English is seen as a very important part of education. Many countries have added English to their school curriculum. This particular study is designed the investigation whether is there any relationship between the motivational self-system in L2 and language learning achievements. Three public and three private sector schools in Lahore were selected for the sample. This study was administered with the aid of close-ended questionnaires of secondary school students in Lahore. Results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between public and private schools on the basis of gender. Cooperation between teachers and students' effective motivational strategies can easily be adapted for L2 learners, as previous studies also show that building learners' confidence and establishing positive relationships are the most important motivational strategies in the L2 learning classroom.
