探讨中国留学生用英语交流的意愿和动机 　　【摘要】教学和外语学习一直都在很多研究领域都是一个热门话题，例如教育领域，语言学领域以及心理学领域。很多学生都会同意开口讲外语是一个学习第二语言的绝佳机会，但是同时他们又会害怕在特定情况下犯错误。所以我们总是能发现有些学生很愿意交流，而有些学生则非常抵触开口讲话。但是如果这种行为成为习惯，他们会慢慢拒绝用第二外语交流，而这种拒绝沟通的后果在学习语言中非常严重。因此本文以英国一知名高校的留学生为研究目标，探讨他们用二语沟通的意愿，以试图找到更好的方法来改进课堂教学，并且帮助学生在课堂外自主学习语言。 　　【关键词】二语学习 留学生 动机 沟通 　　Introduction 　　Teaching and learning a foreign language is always a popular topic in many areas such as educational field， linguistics field and psychological field.
