It is important to know the reasons why students at a department of English Education in College of Education chose the department. The reasons should be related with identities as teachers and ways of approaching their students, which have an influence on the students. This study is exploring reasons why students at a department of English Education entered the department and any changes in their motivation after they entered, by examining 122 students at an English Education Department in a metropolitan university. A questionnaire and reports were used to find the results. It was found that sixty nine percent of the students went to the department since English was their favorite subject and they liked teaching. Thirty percent of them started dreaming of becoming a teacher before middle school days. One impressive result was that many of them have been influenced by their teachers in their choosing the department. This shows that they would obtain fundamental motivation and learn value as teachers from their previous teachers rather than theoretical knowledge. In addition, they show ‘crossing phenomenon’ where students who wanted to become teachers when they entered the department are losing their aspiration of teaching and vice versa. Students got to know whether they have an aptitude in teaching or not by their actual teaching. Aspiration of teaching was the highest in the second year and a bit lower in the third year and got higher in the fourth year. It is assumed that seniors are looking to stability in the final year.
