This article presents research on the relationship between gender and motivational levels in learning Italian as a foreign language in Ecuadorian students. The objective of the research was to establish the relationship between gender and motivation in the study participants. The study was developed in a private educational institution in the Guayaquil canton, Guayas province, Republic of Ecuador. The sample consisted of 120 active students at the Basic General Education level. In the first instance, a version of the Attitude Test, designed by Gardner, was applied to assess the learning of English as a foreign language. The variables considered were: level of motivation, gender and educational level of the students. The results show that, in both cases, both male and female students are highly motivated to learn Italian as a foreign language.
