| Research Abstract |
We have conducted three different studies within our grand research project. The first study showed that demotivating factors among university students in studying English were 1) difficulty in understanding English, 2) dissatisfaction with teachers and classes, 3) lack of L2-self, 4) lack of opportunity to use English, and 5) anxiety. From the free writings of the group of participants who were once demotivatd but had regained their motivation, the second study revealed the importance of 1) encountering an empathetic, enthusiastic teacher, 2) feeling a necessity for English, and 3) exerting an effort to grow out of demotivation. Finally, in the third study, teacher interviews cited 1) a social environment in which English remained a 'foreign' language, 2) overprotection from parents, and 3) admission to university on recommendation as demotivating factors.
