Abstract
The present study investigates problem-based learning method and its effectiveness in enhancing EFL learners' intrinsic motivation. Two questionnaires have been administered; one to 19 teachers at the english department, L'arbi Ben M'Hidi university, Oum-El-Bouaghi, and one to 74 master students. An attitudinal questionnaire has been designed to draw teachers' attitudes towards the effectiveness of problem-based learning method in enhancing learners' intrinsic motivation. The results show that EFL teachers as well as master students do not hold favorable attitudes towards problem-based learning method as an instructional method and its effectiveness in making students more engaged and enjoying their learning. The results show that a better part of teachers do not adopt problem- based learning.
