Introduction

Motivation plays an important role in human’s daily life, because no matter what one does has its purpose, which can be the so-called reason. Those purposes lead people to do what they want to and give them the direction. When people have their motivation, they will try their best to do things so that they can succeed. But where is the motivation? How to make full use of it, and how much influence can it make? All above, this is what people study for. Besides, with the development of globalization, most people have begun to learn English. Mainly, this paper tries to illustrate the relation between motivation and English learning, analyze the effects of motivation on English learning, and also realize how it can stir up the activation of learning and improve the efficiency, and point out ways to help people who want to learn English.

In recent years, college English teaching in China has made great achievements. However, the result of the college English teaching is not satisfactory. Chinese college students’ ability to use English is still poor.

What has caused this unsatisfactory situation? What can teachers do to improve their level? How to teach college English effectively? These questions always haunt college English teachers in China. Undoubtedly, many factors result in the inefficiency of college English learning. Most English teachers will agree that motivation of the students is one of the most important factors influencing their success in learning English. They may have to go along with the students’motivation or at least be sufficiently aware of the students’motivation so that problems can be smoothed over.
