The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Glasser Model for Class Management and the attitude toward learning English among intermediate school learners. Two tools were used for this research: 1) Glasser Model for Class Management including five areas (survival, belonging, fun, and freedom needs). 2) Attitude toward learning English Scale. Both instruments were used and applied with a randomly selected cluster sample. The sample of this study consisted of 117 intermediate students in Hail city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The results showed that intermediate student have a positive attitude toward learning English. There was a statistically significant correlational relationship at the 0.01 level between Glasser Model for Class Management plus its areas and attitude toward learning English Scale. Moreover, the multiple regression analysis revealed that Glasser Model for Class Management with its five areas (power and belonging needs) significantly contributed in predicting attitude toward learning English. The area of power need was the best predictor of learning engagement accounting for 54% of attitude toward learning English. (Published abstract)
