In this study, 142 nursing students were surveyed about their motivational orientations (MOs) behind studying English. Twelve possible MOs were evaluated in three categories, i.e., hobby-related, cultural (educational), and career-related. Hobby-related MOs (e.g., traveling abroad, understanding foreign movies) and career-related MOs (e.g., communicating with patients, reading medical journals) were found to be more important to the students than those related to cultural, or educational, opportunities (e.g., understanding other cultures, improving language abilities). The students who considered the learning of English to be troublesome tended to have lower scores in all three categories examined. These results have pedagogical bearing on curriculum planning, materials development, course content, and teaching approach.
