Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyse the language learning motivations of Chinese students majoring in Central and Eastern European languages at universities in the Yangtze River Delta. Thanks to the cooperation of the People’s Republic of China with the countries of this part of Europe, this group of learners is increasing, while the Yangtze River Delta was an important place for the implementation of the Chinese initiative, therefore, getting acquainted with the motivations of students learning Central and Eastern European languages may be important for the education of future participants of global exchange. This research used a survey strategy. It turned out that the respondents had mainly internal motivations. External factors, such as the teacher, can have a positive influence on the development of motives. What is needed is a concern for those who have become less motivated during their studies.
