This correlation study examined the effect of motivation and interest on students' learning outcomes at the university level. Data were collected from 125 university students through questionnaires and tests, and t-test, ANOVA, and R-Square were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that motivation in learning English did not influence students' learning outcomes, nor did interest. Moreover, there was a negative connection between motivation and interest and students' learning outcomes. This study enriches the research on motivation and interest in English learning outcomes. Furthermore, it reveals an insight that motivation and interest are not the factors that cause students to succeed in English courses.
