%X As the latest one in the field of SLA/FLA motivational study, the theory of DMC(s) is of great significance both theoretically and pedagogically. This current paper aims at whether the core features of tertiary non-English majorsĄŻ motivational behaviors in china are in line with those outlined in the theory of DMCs. The results disclose that when the participants experienced a DMC, their goals/visions as the driving force were directed, their learning behaviors with clear start points were recurring and self-propelling, and they were generally positive, though negative occasionally. Therefore, the effectiveness of the distinguishing components of a DMC has been tested and verified in Chinese EFL context, which offers valuable enlightenment to trigger and maintain high motivation for English study in the classroom.
