Abstract
English has become an essential language for
education, communication, and career advancement in the modern world. The
attitude of students towards learning English plays a significant role in
determining their success in acquiring language skills. The present study aimed
to investigate the attitudes of Class IX students towards English language
learning at the high school level. The study was conducted among 100 students
selected from government and private schools. A standardized "Attitude
Towards Learning English Scale" developed by Ravi Vanguri and M. Rajendra
Nath Babu was used for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using
Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that private school
boys possessed significantly more positive attitudes towards English language
learning than government school boys. No significant difference was found
between government and private school girls. The study also revealed a
significant difference between boys and girls, with girls showing comparatively
more positive attitudes toward English language learning. The study highlights
the importance of creating supportive learning environments and adopting
innovative teaching methods to improve students’ attitudes toward English
learning.
