Motivation plays an integral role in the success of learning a new language. However, in some cases, despite having high motivation, learners still find it very challenging to master the language. This is because they may face a lot of constraints in learning the language. This study attempts to figure out the level of English learning motivation of ethnic minority university students as well as the constraints that negatively influence their learning process. Data were collected from the questionnaire with 65 ethnic minority students at Thai Nguyen University of Sciences. The findings show that regardless of many disadvantages related to their living conditions and language knowledge background, ethnic minority students are motivated in learning English. Second, some of the biggest constraints in learning English were investigated, including students‟ lack of English background knowledge, inappropriate learning strategies, inconfidence in using the language and laziness. Based on the findings, some relevant implications are recommended for the improvement of the teaching and learning environment at the university to create necessary support for learners to develop their English language skills effectively.
