Thus, the present paper examines English as a foreign language students’ motivation level in using webGbased Compu terGAssisted Language Learning. The sample group of the study consisted of 126 learners of English as foreign language at preparatory school of Inonu University. The data were used to provide a descriptive and correlational analysis to address the research questions. The results indicate that there is a significant correlation between motivation level and the degree of importance of learning English for the participant while the relationship between motivation level and some other variables such as age, gender, grade, compulsory and voluntary states, types of their high school, parents’ educational background, the time period of the participant’s language learning process and the experience towards computer use was not significant. Finally, some practical recommendations were noted.
