Abstract: This research investigated students' attitudes towards learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, the study detected Saudi EFL students towards English language, English teachers and learning situations. Data were gathered via a questionnaire from a randomly selected sample of 150 Saudi students. Quantitative analysis was conducted using SPSS version 28, with findings presented through tables and interpreted using Mean Scores and Standard Deviation. The study indicated that students have high positive attitudes among Saudi students towards studying EFL. The study also found that students showed moderate perceptions about English teachers and learning situations. The study recommended collaborative efforts to improve the recruitment of proficient English teachers and encourage student participation in extracurricular activities aimed at enhancing English-speaking skills and fostering positive attitudes towards language learning.
