An instrument including the motivation and language learning strategy (LLS) scales was administered to 584 college freshmen from 3 universities in Taiwan. Results of factor analyses (using promax rotation) indicate that factors of the desire for acceptance and betterment are more prominent than ego orientation, task orientation, or work avoidance, that instrumentality and integration are two additional factors to the motivation scale, and that the addition of functional strategies to the LLS scale distinguishes two types of deep-processing strategies—monitoring and meaning-seeking. Correlation analyses between motivation and LLS scales indicate that the use of deep-processing strategies is significantly and positively correlated to four motivation factors (p <.01)—betterment, acceptance, effort, and integration—and that the use of surface-level strategies is significantly and positively correlated to the factor of instrumentality (p <.01). The findings support the future direction for the measurement of motivation in learning EFL. Pedagogically, EFL teachers may provide adequate motivation conditions to enhance the learners' use of deep-processing strategies and thus promote learning outcomes.
