Abstract: Since motivation is an inevitable key to succeed in second language learning, this study aimed to investigate the motivation and the motivation orientation levels of the undergraduates in Sabaragamuwa University (SUSL) and Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka (UWU) towards learning English. The study was carried out with 110 secondyear and 69 first-year undergraduates in SUSL and UWU respectively. Results indicated that 72% undergraduates in SUSL and 100% in UWU possess high level of motivation and high instrumental orientation to learn English
