This paper focuses on motivation of Japanese English learners from a remedial learners' point of view because there are difficulties in remedial English instruction in Japanese colleges. Remedial English instruction should be undertaken with a firm grasp of the roots of the learners' motivational deficiencies. This study aims to investigate those motivational deficiencies. First, it discusses differences in level of motivation in remedial level English learning among three learning groups with different attainment. Methods of enhancing the motivation of remedial English learners should be different between levels of achievement and for learners of different past learning experiences. And then, it discusses how the subjects obtained their motivational deficiencies.
