Abstract：　　　　　With the development of society, economics, technology, English has become a more and more important tool of communication. At the same time, facing the opportunities and challenges offered by the globalization, China is in the greatest need of professional talents who, along with their own majors, have a good command of English as their second language to communicate with different people in different fields of international exchange. Thus, English teaching is highly expected to contribute to the Chinese education system and motivating the whole atmosphere for Chinese students especially those from the private colleges.

　　　　　Economy is related to politics and technology. And now it is the age of the economic globalization. The requirement for students to use English has been improved, especially economic majors. In our country, many institutes of economies have been using English to give classes in many key universities. Thought it has not been extended in our college (Zengcheng College of South China Normal University), the students need to improve their English skills which will lend a hand to their job hunting and self-studying.

　　　　　All behaviors of learning are brought about by learning motivation. Therefore, it has been studied for a long time. These few years, many researchers report that the English learning state of college students is very disappointing, especially economic major students. Some of them lack English learning motivation. However, English learning seems more and more important with the development of society. Nowadays, many careers such as computer technicians, website editors, or even sellers need English skills. In fact, if you want to take part in a better company, you should do well in English. In a word, since many students have not built up a right English learning motivation, they fail in studying English. What’s more, learning motivation can be divided into integrative motivation, instrumental motivation and other motivations. Students have many times to study by themselves, in the university, but we can’t ignore the time in class. From the results of recent study, many scholars emphasize role transition of teachers in the class. As a result, how to stimulate students’ learning motivation in limited time of a class is more and more important. Learning motivation is inherent. It is a kind of psychological tendency or ability which is expressed in a positive psychological state and a favorable study environment. Therefore, the dissertation will focus on the stimulating intrinsic motivation; take an example at non-English major in college.

Key words: learning motivation; economic major; stimulate; intrinsic motivation

摘要：随着社会，经济，科技的日益发展，英语已经成为一种日益重要的交流工具。同时，面临着全球经济化所带来的机遇与挑战，我国急需大量拥有丰富专业知识和技能，并且能够熟练地使用英语进行沟通。因此，我们迫切需要培养这样的复合型和实用型的人才。

　　　经济与政治，科学息息相关，经济类专业要求学生的英语水平也逐渐提高。我国大部分重点本科的经济类专业已经有全英教学的课程。我院（XX学院）经济类专业虽然还没有推广全英教学，但如果这类专业的学生能够掌握基础的英语知识，并能够熟练地运用英语沟通。这将会提高经济类专业学生日后的就业竞争能力和自主学习专业知识的能力。

　　　许多调查表明当代大学生学习英语的动机倾向已不能单一地归纳为是融合性动机倾向或者工具性动机倾向，很多时候是这两方面的结合。本文选择了独立学院经济类专业学生作为探究的对象。虽然在大学里，学生自主学习的时间居多，但也不能忽略课堂的时间。从近年研究结果看来，越来越多的研究者强调老师在课堂上角色的转换，因此教师如何利用课堂有限的时间激发学生学习的兴趣越来越重要。本文利用调查问卷，面对面访谈等方法，真实反映XX学院经济类专业学生学习英语的现状，并针对其喜好习惯提出激发学习英语动机的方法。
