Sažetak

As a first stage of the project regarding an investigation of attitudes and motivation of Hotel management undergraduate students towards foreign language courses, in this paper attitudes and motivation of HM students towards the Italian language are examined.
The results of the study involving three groups with 178 students show which aspects of the language they consider to be the most important for them, as well as which of them are most highly evaluated according to their opinion.
The most important for them is "the instrumental aspect" (enabling students to use their knowledge in their future profession), followed by "the educational aspect", "the communicative aspect" and "the cultural aspect", while the written form of the language is completely
neglected.
These facts should be taken into consideration by language teachers when planning lectures, new language courses and curricula.
