English, as a compulsory basic course for vocational college students, has also received increasing attention. In English teaching practice, it has been found that learning motivation is the internal driving force that directly drives English learning and plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of English learning. Therefore, educators find it crucial to cultivate, stimulate, and maintain the English learning motivation of vocational college students, and help them transition from "I want to learn" to "I want to learn." Learning motivation can not only guide students in their direction but also promote their hard work in learning. It is an essential driving force. The lack of motivation for vocational college students to learn English is a very important fundamental reason, and it is quite difficult to improve the level of learning motivation for this group. This is because overall, vocational college students have a low starting point, lack hard work, good learning habits, and a certain degree of self-learning ability. They also lack confidence in learning English well. To address these challenges, educators need to continuously improve the difficulty of the goal, stimulate students' exploration interest and learning motivation. In addition, after students achieve a goal, teachers should give timely praise, encouragement, and guidance for unfinished goals to enhance students' confidence.
