外语教学中应该采用怎样的教学方法以及如何激发学习动机是当前亟待解决的问题。众所周知,语言的学习动机关乎学生对语言的认知能力,以及学生对语言学习策略的合理运用,因此这两者对学生的语言认知程度起着关键性的作用。但是,进入大学之后许多学生对英语的学习认知发生了偏移,认为学习英语没有实际的意义,缺乏英语学习的动机。在此,文章针对我国大学生的外语学习动机及学习策略进行分析,探讨教师应如何激发学生的学习动机,帮助学生构建合理的学习策略。 What kind of teaching methods should be adopted in foreign language teaching and how to stimulate learning motivation are the problems to be solved urgently.

They think that learning English has no practical significance and lacks the motivation of learning English. In this article, the article analyzes the motivation and learning strategies of college students in our country to explore how teachers should motivate their motivation to learn and help them build a reasonable learning strategy.
