The purpose of this study was to evaluate the, reliability of a motivational/attitudinal questionnaire developed for use with francophone students, and to assess the relation of attitudes and motivation to achievement in English. A secondary aim was to evaluate the relation of the context of second language acquisition to attitudes and achievement. The subjects in this study were 130 grade seven and eight students who were learning English as a second language. The results demonstrate that in general the attitudinal and motivational scales are reliable; that attitudes, anxiety and motivation are related to achievement in the second language; and that context of English acquisition has an effect on verbal English achievement but not on attitudes.
