Abstract
A lot of researches have been conducted to study on learning motivation and learning strategies both at home and abroad, either in the aspects of theory or the empirical exploration. Based on related theories and through questionnaire investigation among the male undergraduates in Zhoukou Normal University, this thesis aims at helping us undergraduates establish the right learning motivations and employ the most effective learning strategies to learn English well by exploring the two matters and their correlation.
The thesis consists of six parts, opening with an introduction, narrating the purpose and significance of the study. In the second part, literature review is made. Part Three introduces the research methodology. Through investigating parts of the male undergraduates in Zhoukou Normal University, the data were collected. After analysis and discussion in Part Four, several aspects of findings are offered by the author. Then, in Part Five, some implications and recommendations are drawn from the results suggesting that both teachers and students should improve themselves from different angles.

A Survey Study on English Learning Motivation and Strategies of Male Undergraduates in Ordinary Normal Universities
I. Introduction
Since Reform and Opening-up, especially after China’s entering WTO, more and more people are learning English. English learners vary considerably both in how quickly they learn and in how successful they are. Studies find that the explanation lies in age, aptitude, motivation, personality and learning strategies (Ellis, 123). Motivation was a variable that has been most frequently considered when discussing inpidual differences in second language acquisition (SLA). According to Ellis’s study, a good language learner should have a strong reason, and develops “the duty stimulation” strongly (122). Academic papers discovered that different students had different learning motivations. Generally speaking, their different motivations can greatly influence them either in the choice of learning strategies, or the formation of their learning styles. 师范学院男生英语学习动机与策略研究:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_6225.html
