Abstract :The current research aims to explore the psychology students’ motivation and attitudes toward using developed English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. A mixed method study was conducted with 60 pupils from the Psychology Department taking ‘General English’ course. Treatment lasted for 12 weeks. As the data collection tools, the “Motivation Questionnaire for Learning English” and Interview Questions were used. Data tools were administered both at the beginning and end of the study. Quantitative data were analysed through the SPSS program. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to measure the significance of instruction. Qualitative data, obtained from the semi-structured interview, were analysed through thematic content analysis. As the findings of the research indicate after the use of the ESP material, the motivation of the students towards learning English increased and participants developed positive attitudes toward the developed material as well as learning English.
