Abstract

In this paper, theories of language learning motivation and language learning strategies were used to explore the influence of computer-assisted language teaching methods on vocational college students’ learning motivation and learning strategies in English writing classes. The research lasted for one term. In the research, the English writing classes were designed to be computer-assisted. Before and after the research, a questionnaire was used respectively to measure students’ language learning motivation and language learning strategies. Results of the research show that computer-assisted teaching of English writing can significantly improve vocational college students’ language learning motivation. It is also shown from the results of the research that computer-assisted teaching of English writing can also help vocational college students to improve their language learning strategies.
