Motives and motivations can mean the same thing but are generally used differently. Motives are the reasons given for having done something. I may have several motives for eating: to enjoy the pleasure of taste, to nourish my body. Motivation is the enthusiasm for doing something: if I am hungry, I will eat. If I have motive but no motivation I might go for days without eating.

Theses words are synonyms. "What are your motives to learn English?" "What is your motivation to learn English?" (This example sounds more natural)

Motive is normally used to mean the specific reason for performing a specific action, an incentive, a particular goal or objective. Ex-They ran away to avoid being caught. So the motive here is to avoid being caught. Motivation is the act or process of giving someone a reason to do something, the internal and external factors that stimulate desire to do something. Ex-I became a doctor to ease patients suffering. The desire to relieve people’s suffering is the motivation to become doctor.
