Abstract
Due to the importance of making English language learning enjoyable, and its impact on learners' degree of achievement in learning English language, this study investigated the factors that make English language learning more interesting and appealing for learners. To achieve this purpose, 155 Iranian language learners studying English as a foreign language participated in this study. The findings of this study showed that teachers, learners and their aims, and parental supports are the most influential factors making English language learning appealing for the learners. It was revealed that the least important factor in making the process of learning appealing for learners is their classmates.
