The roles of aptitude, attitude and motivation in language learning are discussed. A questionnaire distributed to college Russian students investigated attitudes toward Russian and reasons for studying the language. Both integrative-intrinsic and instrumental-utilitarian orientations toward Russian correlated positively with success in studying the language. (CHK)
