摘要：英语学习动机与学习成绩有着紧密的联系，因此过去常常被忽略的外语学习动机越来越引起外语界的重视。对一个英语教师来说，只有了解了学生的学习动机才能采取与之相关的策略。学习动机主要分为内部动机和外部动机。本文从人本主义，认知主义的学习动机理论阐述了内部动机和外部动机在英语教学中都是不可缺少的组成部分。以动机理论为基础，作者通过问卷调查探索南湖二中初二年级2班和3班学生的学习动机情况，来了解初中生学英语的动机现状，以便施以相应改善其学习策略的措施。调查结果表明，初中生英语学习动机普遍较弱。作者对调查结果进行了思考与分析，并针对初中生英语学习中动机缺失的现象，就如何提升他们的学习动机提出了相关的建议和策略。
