Abstract:	This study investigates into the relationship between motivations and language learning strategies in the context of learning English as a second language of first-year students at Faculty of Electrical Engineering Technology, Hanoi University of Industry. The participants included 100 non-English major freshmen. The data were collected from survey questionnaires and interviews with 10 students. The results show that the students had strong instrumental orientations and integrative orientations. It is suggested that they focused mainly on practical benefits and communicative purposes. In terms of learning strategy, participants used social and cognitive strategies most frequently; on the other hand, the use of compensation strategies gained the least attention. Moreover, there were significant correlations among types of motivation and learning strategies which were consistent to previous studies. From the findings and discussion based on data collection, some pedagogical implications, limitations and recommendations for further studies were included in this research.
