The frequencies distributions for the demographic factors and the strategies are also included in this study. The female respondents are more than male students in this Intensive English Program. The mean score of motivation was found significantly different before and after the Intensive English Program.

Mean scores of motivation in learning English for genders are equal. There is no significant difference in female and male students for motivation in learning English in this study.
