Assessing Student Attitudes towards Learning English at Secondary Education Level

Abstract

There is data in the educational literature about pupils' interests and attitudes. Gaining proficiency in a second language requires this knowledge. The primary goal of this research was to find out students' perspectives on English language learning at the secondary school level. With the use of the survey method, this descriptive study was able to achieve its aims. Most of the people who participated in the study were secondary school students from the Punjab area. The students were chosen using a random sampling method from interconnected schools in the Sialkot district. Data for the study was collected from 959 secondary school students in the Sialkot district. In contrast to male secondary school pupils, female students had significantly higher positive views about learning English, according to this study. Oral communication exercises are an excellent opportunity for students to practice and hone their English language skills, which teachers should encourage. Students' command of the English language can only benefit from this action. The five pillars of language acquisition—hearing, speaking, reading, writing, and producing—form the backbone of the English language.
