There is a wide variety of factors such as: age, attitude, motivation, aptitude, amount of exposure, gender and anxiety etc in second language learning. These are also responsible for individual differences in learning a second (L2) / Foreign Language (FL). In social Psychology, it is a widely accepted fact that learner's individual differences have significant impact on the learner's overall L2/FL performance. That is why the major focus of the recent research in social psychology has been on various social psychological variables like, attitude, motivation, age, aptitude, anxiety, intelligence etc, and their impact on Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Gardner (1985) proposes that second language acquisition is truly a socio-psychological phenomenon. This paper focuses on gender differences affect the motivation factors towards learning of English as a second language among engineering and technology students. It also gives special emphasis on different motivation factors such as: integrative, instrumental, resultative and intrinsic with respect to gender differences. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.)
