The aim of this paper is to show how one kind of motivation strategy works in a class of non-English language majors. I had a clue to manage the class more effectively in terms of motivation after sending out a questionnaire in a class of eighty students. The data of it showed some interesting and unexpected features. I took some majors which were introduced in the field of TESOL by some leading researchers such as Gardner R. and Lambert W. for a year. The findings in this one-year project include both positive and negative aspects.
