Abstract
This research is based at the University of Sindh, Jamshoro, at the departments of International Relations and Physics. It aimed at finding motivational change in learning English as a second language at the two departments. The data is collected from the students of Part-I and II during their undergraduate degrees in their respective departments. The research could not provide any obvious answer on motivational change of the learners of different majors, as the findings in most of the cases remained similar when seen from the perspective of the different departments. However, when the students were divided on the basis of their batches, it is found that mostly motivation changes during the two years of study of the language at the university, and the change is positive in most of the cases as well. Intensity and desire as well as attitude of the Part-II students towards learning English was found to be greater than that of Part-I students. It is, therefore, concluded that motivation increases with the passage of time and with the active influence of academic factors.
