摘 要:英语学习受诸多因素影响，其中动机是关键因素之一，并在学习中扮演了重要角色。文章通过对学生学习动机因素的讨论和分析，试图找出当前影响农村中学英语学习动机的因素。同时涉及了定量分析法和定性分析法。定量研究部分采用了问卷形式，对龙武中学的八年级88名学生进行了调查，旨在发现英语学习动机在农村中学的现状。定性分析部分采用课堂观察和开放性访谈的方式。定性分析的目的在于找出学生英语学习动机因素及其关系。调查结果显示虽然学生的动机强度很高，但是学习成绩受很多的动机因素影响。然而，由于时间的局限性和少量的研究对象，所做的研究也仅能反映出农村存在的一些情况。所得出的结论和建议不是非常权威，作者希望今后的研究能从多角度来分析，如果今后的研究能涉及更多的农村中学作为对象，并能验证所提出建议的可行性，将会使所得出的论文更有意义和说服力。
