The aim of this study was to examine the hospitality-related English vocabulary learning achievement and motivation of technical college students. The subjects were 95 students from a technical college in southern Taiwan. This study applied a hospitality-related English vocabulary test and learning motivation questionnaire. The results revealed that many subjects disliked learning ospitality-related English vocabulary, but that it was important for them nonetheless. Female subjects were discovered to have significantly different opinions from male subjects regarding some learning motivation factors. The subjects’ different attitudes and opinions on hospitality-related vocabulary learning had different effects on the subjects’ learning motivation. The subjects successfully getting a hospitality-related English vocabulary certificate showed that various ways of evaluation could increase their hospitality-relatedEnglish vocabulary learning motivation. The present study drew some conclusions and identified teaching and research implications for the future.
