Abstract
The study explores the impact of a conducive classroom environment on learners’ motivation towards language learning. For that to achieve, a questionnaire was developed based on Dornyei’s (2007) proposal of creating a motivating classroom environment and the ‘Motivational Strategies Questionnaire’ (Cheng & Dörnyei, 2007). The questionnaire was distributed among learners to explore their perceptions regarding the positive or negative impact of their current classroom environment over their motivation towards communicative competence in the English language. The study took place at City University of Science and IT, Peshawar and Institute of Management Sciences, Peshawar (IMS). The participants (N=175) were undergraduate students from Freshman English 1, 2, 3 and Functional English, both male and female. The collected data were analysed using SPSS. The results showed that the participants expressed their weak or no satisfaction over the impact of the classroom environment on their motivation towards building oral communication skills.
