Motivation is extremely important to human behavior and activities. It determines the consciousness, enthusiasm, preference and selectivity of individual activities. Motivation is at the core of the learning process. The level of motivation and strength determine the quality of individual activities, levels and effects. Foreign language learning motivation is one of the motives of human behavior, which is manifested in the desire to learn and master the strong desire of foreign language and intellectual curiosity. It is an internal motivation to promote foreign language learning and a conscious and motivated psychological state of foreign language learners in foreign language learning activities. Gardner admits
