Abstract

The Learning motivation is an important factor that affects second language acquisition and directly influences learners’ ultimate learning achievements. Learning motivation is also influenced by many factors. This paper combines the theory of the L2 Motivational Self-System and analyzes the impact of the Chinese environment on second language learners’ learning motivation. This provides a reference for improving the level of second language teaching and promoting the learning motivation of second language learners in China. The research found that China’s policies and education system, cultural context, and level of contact with the target language culture all have specific effects on the learning motivation of Chinese second language learners. In the end, this paper proposes implementation suggestions for improving the external learning environment. The government could adopt a “muti-language” education approach to satisfy those interested in minor languages. Schools should provide advanced learning equipment and more platforms or activities for learners to better practice their learning knowledge. Teachers should create a better classroom atmosphere and use specific teaching strategies such as incorporating extracurricular knowledge, giving positive feedback and helping them set goals, to motivate learners’ learning motivation.
