They were most motivated in learning situation, intrinsic interest, going abroad, immediate achievement, social responsibility, individual development, and the students were least motivated in information medium. There was no significant relationship between students’ learning motivation types and their English achievements as a whole. However, there is no significant positive correlations among immediate achievement, learning situation and students’ outcomes were indicated.
