        abstract = {The present study explores learners’ motivation and its relationship with English language achievement among undergraduate students of Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh. Motivation is considered a key psychological factor influencing success in second language learning, particularly in the Indian higher education context where English functions as an academic and professional language. A correlational research design was adopted for the study. The sample consisted of 200 undergraduate students selected through stratified random sampling from degree colleges in Guntur District. Learners’ motivation was measured using a standardised motivation scale, while English language achievement was assessed through students’ academic performance in English. The study also examined differences in learners’ motivation and English language achievement with respect to selected demographic variables such as gender, locality (rural and urban), type of school studied (boys, girls, and co-educational), and management (government and private). The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between learners’ motivation and English language achievement. Significant differences were also observed across demographic variables, indicating the influence of educational background and learning environment on motivation and achievement in English. The study highlights the importance of fostering learner motivation through effective pedagogical practices at the undergraduate level. The findings offer valuable implications for English language teachers, curriculum planners, and educational administrators in Andhra Pradesh to enhance students’ English language achievement.},
