%X This article examines the intricate relationship between cognitive styles, field independence and integrative motivation, in the context of language learning achievement. Through deploying the narrative inquiry, this study collects the interview data from an experienced teacher who has engaged in English teaching. It mainly found that field-independent students excel in analyzing and breaking down complex information which enables them to process linguistic structures effectively. However, their tendency for self-reliance may limit their collaborative skills, which potentially hinders opportunities for language output. Conversely, integrative motivation drives learners to engage deeply in classroom activities, which enhances their language proficiency. By recognizing and addressing the strengths and weaknesses of these cognitive traits, teachers can tailor their teaching strategies to maximize student engagement and success in language learning.
