The aim of the study is to investigate non-English majors motivation types and explore the interrelations among motivation types, motivational intensity and English achievement. The study also presents some implications for College English teaching and learning in Chinese context. The data were collected from the questionnaires based on the related literature which are composed of three parts: personal information, Gao Yihongs motivation type scale and motivational intensity scale. The participants were 224 non-English major sophomores from Linyi Normal University and Qingdao University in Shandong Province who were asked to complete the questionnaires. Then all the data were subjected to statistical analysis with the system of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS11.5), which includes: 1) factor analysis which is aimed to classify types of student FL motivation; 2) Correlational analysis of motivational types, motivational intensity and achievement; 3) MANOVA to identify if there are any significant differences between high-achieving group and low-achieving group with regard to motivation type and motivational intensity; and 4) REGRESSION to find causal relationship between motivation types, motivational intensity and English achievement. The present research has yielded the following findings: 1) Chinese college students present three types of motivation for their English learning: cultural, instrumental and situational, as well as six sub-types of motivation (intrinsic interest, individual development, immediate achievement, going abroad, social iii responsibility, and learning situation motivation). 2) Four out of the six researched motivation subtypes, except immediate achievement motivation and learning situation motivation, correlate positively with motivational intensity and achievement. The correlations between achievement and motivational intensity are unanimously higher than those between achievement and motivation types. Therefore, learning efforts are a better predictor to achievement than motivation types. 3) Motivational intensity is affected by gender and English proficiency level. High achievers and low achievers bear some similarities in some of the motivational types, such as going abroad, social responsibility, and individual development while they differ in some others, such as intrinsic interest, immediate achievement and learning situation motivation. In the mean while, they significantly differ in motivational intensity. 4) Learners motivation can influence learning outcomes directly or indirectly through motivational intensity as mediator. Finally, some tentative suggestions are put forward based on the findings in the present study from learners perspective as well as teachers perspective. It is hoped that this study can generate more research in this area in the future.
