摘要：AbstractThe present study examined the association between English Language Teaching (ELT) freshman student's educational aspirations and factors that influence these aspirations. A sample of 400 male (N=250) and female (N=150) ELT students from three international state universities in Ankara/Turkey was selected. The data for the study were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 30 items measuring ELT students’ educational aspirations. A hierarchical multiple regression indicated thatcommitment to schooling, academic self-concept, familyandeducational environmentwere related significantly to educational aspirations and explained a significant proportion of the variance. The results suggest the high aspirations of students are mediated through strong academic self- concept, positive peer support, a commitment to schooling and high educational aspirations in the home while low educational aspirations may have different mediating influences in different students.
