The matter of leamer’s attitude is acknowledged as one of the most important factors that impact on learning a language (Fakeye, D., 2010) Aliitudes toward leaning are beleved to wfluence behaviors such as selecting and reading books, speaking in a foreign language etc. Kspecially in Ldueation, if the students have positive attitude towards any subject, they can achicve many things in that specific arca.
