Driven by the internationalization of higher education and the Guidelines for College English Teaching (2020 Edition), college students' English learning has shifted from previous "exam-oriented compliance" to a focus on "competence improvement". As a result, second language motivation has become a key variable influencing the sustainability and effectiveness of students' English learning. Based on the theory of second language motivation, this article elaborates on its significance in the reform of college English teaching from four perspectives. It analyzes the reasons for the lack of students' motivation in English learning and proposes strategies to stimulate their motivation. The aim is to achieve an ecological reconstruction of college English teaching centered on the activation of learner motivation.
