Attitude towards languages is extensively studied phenomenon in sociolinguistics. It is the
attitude towards language that appears to be important in the restoration, preservation, decay
or death in the life of a language (Baker, 1992). Attitude has been a subject of research
interest among the sociolinguists and social scientists over the years and they have done
significant contributions. The findings of different attitude studies state that attitudes vary
from favourably to unfavourably or vice-versa in language learning and acquisition, choice
and use of language in different domains and thus, surveys of attitudes provide social
indicators of changing beliefs about language and the chances of success in language policy
implementation. Attitude has been studied from various perspectives with reference to a
number of languages in a variety of settings such as attitude towards mother tongue; attitude
towards a second or foreign language; attitude towards national language; attitude towards
varieties of languages; attitude towards language in education policy; relationship between
attitudes and motivation; the relationship between attitudes and learning strategies; the
relationship between attitudes and level of achievement and so on. This study also aims at
investigating attitude of the undergraduate students of Life Science School of Khulna
University towards English and hence, the specific objective of this study is to discover the
attitudes of the undergraduate students of Life Science School of Khulna University towards
English.
