摘要：In early English language learning the emphasis is mostly on two basic language skills – listening and speaking. However, beginning with the third grade the emphasis shifts towards the language skills in reading and writing, which are developed through various text-based tasks. The assumption is that learners will not be equally motivated for all activities. In order to assess students' task motivation, third and fourth grade learners from one elementary school in Petrinja and one in Zagreb were asked to complete a questionnaire. The results were analysed regarding gender, age and place of residence.
