ABSTRACT
The current study aimed to investigate Turkish university students’ achievement in
English as foreign language in terms of their intrinsic-extrinsic motivation, attendance
and gender factors.
The study process was initiated after the researcher obtained the necessary permission
from the ethics committee of Cyprus Science University. 363 students voluntarily
participated in the study. The participants were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year university
students taking English as a compulsory course in a private University in TRNC
(Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus). The data were collected from the participants
by the fall semester of 2022 – 2023 academic year. Data consists of the students' final
exam scores, attendance and results of the questionnaire that provides the levels of
students' intrinsic-extrinsic motivation and demographic information. To obtain
information about the participants’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, a motivation
scale was used after getting permission from the researchers, Karayazgan & Saraçoğlu,
(2021).
According to the result of the present study, the mean difference between the
achievement of the higher and the lower attendance groups wasfound to be statistically
very significant, and the correlation between the students’ attendance and their
achievement was calculated and a significant small positive relationship was found. In
spite of the very significant difference between the aforementioned groups in terms of
their attendance and achievement, the correlation between the participants’ attendance
and achievement is not very high. This can be attributed to the students’ background
language education and the time they allocated to study English outside the classroom.
As there is no significant difference between the two groups in terms of their intrinsic
and extrinsic motivation, it can be said that EFL students’ attendance plays an
important role in their achievement. In addition, it was found that the intrinsic
motivation of the students who attended the course regularly was higher than their
extrinsic motivation. Considering the two different results about gender, it can be said
that there is no relationship between attendance and gender, but there is a significant
relationship between achievement and gender.
