Özet

Öz The study aims to investigate foreign language learning effort levels of students in English for Specific Purposes. In the study, quantitative research and survey method were applied. 385 students studying at a faculty of tourism and taking vocational English course at a state university in Turkey participated in the study voluntarily. Foreign Language Learning Effort Scale (FLLES) was used to collect data. At the end of the study, the students’ level of non-compliance was at “never” level, their procedural, focal and overall effort levels were at “often” level and their substantive effort level was at “sometimes” level. While there was no significant difference in non-compliance and overall effort levels of the students, there was a significant difference in their procedural, substantive and focal effort levels in terms of their gender and age. There was no significant difference in non-compliance, procedural, substantive and overall effort levels of the students but there was a significant difference in their focal effort levels in terms of their education type. There was not a significant difference in non-compliance, procedural and substantive effort levels of the students; however, there was a significant difference in their focal and overall language learning effort levels in terms of their department. There was a significant difference in non-compliance, procedural, substantive, focal and overall language learning effort levels of the students in terms of their achievement.
