The attitude towards learning and motivation of learners is an important factor in which teachers play a crucial role. This is important more so in learning of a foreign or second language. This study is concerned with how teachers and learners perceive teachers‘ motivational behaviour and what impact it has on the learners‘ attitude and motivation towards learning to communicate in English language. To this end, a questionnaire was developed based on Dornyei and Csizer‘s (1998) Motivational Strategies Orientation of Language Teaching (MOLT), observation scheme developed by Guilloteaux & Dornyei (2008), and Dornyei‘s (2001) process-oriented model of motivational teacher practice ‗Motivational Strategies Questionnaire‘ (Cheng & Dornyei, 2007), available on his personal website. The items selected for both teachers and learners were made part of the classroom observation checklist to ascertain if particular behaviour of teachers and learners in the language classrooms occurs that determine learners‘ attitude and motivation towards learning oral communication of English language. The study took place at City University of Science and IT, Peshawar (CUSIT) and Institute of Management Sciences, Peshawar (IMS). The questionnaires were administered to learners (N-175) and teachers (N-12). There were four open-ended questions incorporated in the teachers‘ questionnaire to further add some in depth information, which the close-ended questionnaire could not cover. The participants were undergraduate students, both male and female, of Management Science, Computer Sciences, Engineering and Education taking the course of Freshman English 1, 2, 3 and Functional English. At the end of the study, the collected data was analysed through descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA and Dummy variable by using SPSS. The results showed that the student participants expressed their weak satisfaction over their teachers‘ motivational teaching practices while the teachers perceived their teaching practices on a higher level strongly believing them to be the source for the learners‘ positive attitude and motivation towards speaking skill. It is recommended that there is a need to fill that gap between teachers and learners to ascertain the smooth learning of English language. There is a need to motivate learners to engage in different and interesting communicative activities so that a confidence level in the learners could be increased. As the KP learners are highly attached to Pashto language and its culture, so playing videos of the culture of the target language could be highly beneficial for the learners of KP. The learners should be encouraged to communicate in the target language so that hesitation in communicating in the target language could be minimized.
