Abstract

Affected by economic globalization and the novel coronavirus, countries worldwide are increasingly strengthening cooperation, and humans are closer to each other than ever. English, the international language, also plays a significant role. Using the abundant Internet resources and available information to learn English well is also a big issue for English learners. Several factors influence the effects of language acquisition. It includes objective factors, such as environment and resources, self-factors, learning burnout, anxiety, or depression. The theory of learning motivation is also constantly applied to English teaching. Therefore, this paper aims to study the role of Motivational factors in English learning to help English learners adjust their learning approach. Aiming at the influence of motivational factors on language learning, this paper also reviews some comparative studies and focuses on the impact of intrinsic and external factors on English learning. In terms of research methods, this paper takes Non-English significant students at Dongguan City College as the research object to analyze the influence of the learning motivation of non-English important students on their English learning outcomes. In studying this correlation, this paper makes an empirical study of significant non-English students at Dongguan City College in a questionnaire to analyze the data and results and explore the correlation between students’ learning motivation and learning outcomes.
