There are some limitations of the present study. Based on questionnaire in this research is possible not to cover
all aspects of motivation variables. In other words, the questionnaire is not comprehensive enough. The larger
the sample size is, the more reliable the research will be. Although 45 junior middle school students are selected,the number is only a small size analyzed with the whole number.
The above study and discussion show that many students have a strong instrumental motivation in their English
learning. Most of them prefer short-term goals to long-term goals. On the other hand, students generally have
higher desire and commitment to learning English despite a lot of difficulties facing them. In order to enhance
the motivational behaviors of these students, the author provides some suggestions, for example, developing
students’ interests in learning English, training learning strategies and promoting students’ self-efficacy. It is
expected that the findings obtained in the study can be helpful for English teachers to have a better
understanding of their students, and the suggestions offered in the paper can be a contribution to the
improvement of English teaching.
In conclusion, all the teachers and students must spare no effort to work hard in the process of teaching and
learning. The most important thing is that spur students’ motivation to heighten the teaching effect in English
teaching and learning so as to the students’ English practical ability.
