本文将英语学习动机作为影响自主性英语学习能力(AEL)的一个因素,采用定量与定性相结合的方法,通过对471名非英语专业二年级大学生进行"非英语专业大学生英语学习动机与自主性英语学习能力"的调查,发现不同类型动机与自主学习能力之间存在不同程度的相关。结合相关理论,作者对二者之间的相关性进行了分析,并提出了相关的建设性意见。
Taking EFL motivation as one influential variable on autonomy in English learning (AEL),this study tries to probe into the relationship between EFL motivations and AEL by conducting The investigation into Non- English major undergraduates' EFL motivations and their autonomy in English learning among 471 non-English majors with quantitative and qualitative approaches.Quantitative and qualitative analysis interpret the correlations between motivations and AEL.In addition,suggestions of cultivating learners' AEL by triggering their various motivations are presented.In the end,the limitations of this study and recommendations for future studies on this topic are pointed out.

• 3.Although the studies by Cotterall (1999) and Spartt&Chan (2002) are quantitative,yet they don't take the link between motivation and LA as their focus.As Spratt and Chan state“...the study didn't focus mainly on the relationship between autonomy and motivation.The relationship needs further direct investigation using other methodologies”(2002:262).Dickinson (1995) and Ushioda (1996) argue the link between motivation and LA in a logical not an empirical way.
• 6.Pierson (1996) proposes“Learning approach theory”,which means that three distinct processes that could go on when an individual approaches learning tasks.The approaches are surface,deep and achieving.These approaches are determined by learner motivation and orientation,and the tactics and strategies the learner uses when dealing with learning tasks.
