dc.description Online language education is a recent trend around the world. Investigating different factors that might affect learners’ success in this growing channel of education is a must. This study was an attempt to investigate the relationship between locus of control (LOC) as a psychological construct and academic achievement of Iranian online learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). LOC is the extent to which individuals attribute their achievements either to external factors such as fate or to their own efforts. The participants of the study were 100 students studying English online at Iran Language Institute during 2013. The instrument used was Trice Academic LOC questionnaire which identifies orientations of internality or externality. The participants' grade point averages (GPAs) were the measure of their academic achievement. The t-tests for the independent samples were performed on the data. The findings of this study revealed no significant relationship between LOC and academic achievement.
