Research on English Learning Motivation of Students in Vocational Colleges

The study examined English learning motivation types of 800 students in a vocational college by a Linkert-scale questionnaire and an interview. Six types of English learning motivation were found on the basis of thefactor analysis ： intrinsic interest, information medium, external requirement, individual development, learning sit-uation and sense of achievement. Individual factors were somehow associated with motivation types, that is, female students were more intrinsically motivated than male students, while male students had stronger individual develop- ment motivation; learners with higher language proficiency had stronger individual development motivation than those with lower language proficiency; learners majoring in arts had stronger intrinsic interest motivation, external requirement motivation, individual development motivation and learning situation motivation than those in science and engineering.
