Research questionnaire was developed to study L2 motivation by following Gardener's model to measure the motivational factors for
English language learning in the context of Ghizer, Gilgit Baltistan.

These participants were interviewed and the data obtained from interviews was manually transcribed. After reading the interview transcripts several times codes were generated and themes and sub-themes were
defined. The interview questions played a pivotal role in defining themes and sub-themes. The data was then analyzed by categorizing it into the defined themes and sub-themes and finally the report was developed.

better future prospects, professional requirements and fear of shame and failure and to pursue higher education. Finally, some recommendations have been given that the future study could aim at the findings that could give more insight into the linguistic realities of district Ghizer and Gilgit Baltistan.
