The issue of a lack of English competency is captured within the broader concept of the general reluctance of Libyan people to adopt a language other than Arabic, which poses a risk to their national identity and native language. Furthermore, the significance of understanding their perspectives on the English language serves as another pivotal aspect of the study. The study is guided by three main objectives. The first objective is to identify the attitudes of Libyan school pupils towards learning English as a foreign language. The second is to determine whether these attitudes are affected by factors such as gender and grade level of school pupils. Finally, the study aims to discover whether there is any difference in the Libyan students' attitude based on the socioeconomic status of their families. This study employed a quantitative research approach, utilizing a questionnaire survey administered to 236 pupils enrolled in Libyan schools in Malaysia. The research population consisted of 550 individuals, and the method of stratified random sampling was employed for the sample selection. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0, encompassing both descriptive and inferential analyses. The findings of the study revealed a positive attitude among respondents towards learning English as a foreign language. Furthermore, the results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in attitudes towards learning English among Libyan school students of different genders and grade levels. Similarly, measures of family socioeconomic status (SES), such as family monthly income and parental education level, did not exhibit statistically significant differences in attitudes towards learning English. However, there was a notable difference in Libyan students' attitudes based on their fathers' occupation, indicating a statistically significant impact of family socioeconomic status (SES) in this regard. Overall, the survey indicated that students enrolled in Libyan schools generally displayed a high positive attitude towards learning English and recognized its importance. Furthermore, irrespective of individual backgrounds and socioeconomic status (SES), students exhibited positive attitudes towards learning English. As a result of this study, it is recommended that future research explore different groups of Libyan students studying in various countries. The implications of the study underscore the importance of understanding students' attitudes towards learning English, which is crucial for educators and policymakers in designing appropriate EFL curriculum. uuid:3496416f-56cf-4969-a453-2eca3ef4014a ATTITUDE TOWARDS LEARNING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AMONG LIBYAN SCHOOL CHILDREN IN MALAYSIA (PHD_2025).pdf Thesis |
