Sažetak
The aim of our research study was to investigate the effect of language globalization on attitudes and motivation to learn English for specific purposes and consider the implications for teaching and learning. Our quantitative and qualitative research results were obtained in a large sample of business students. We present a number of interesting considerations, some related to curricular elements and other to business students' attitudes and motivation to learn English as a global (business) lingua franca. For instance, ESP course content and timeframe strongly affect student motivation ; development of informed attitudes toward the role and nature of English in the globalizing world might strengthen student motivation ; although the pragmatic value of English is widely praised, traditionally conceived "instrumental motivation" makes the smallest contribution to invested effort ; etc.
