Abstract
Demotivation in English language learning was discussed in this article based on a case study at one Islamic Junior High School in Palembang, Indonesia. Most of the previous studies focus on positive motivation in learning, but in fact students may also be negatively affected by several factors that can diminish their motivation and may lead to their failure in learning. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring the factors causing demotivation among students in English language learning. The participants were the second-grade students being demotivated in learning. The data were gained by using document reviews and face-to-face interviews and were analyzed by using thematic analysis. Member checking was used to measure credibility and control of biases in this study. The findings revealed there were five students‟ demotivating factors, namely insufficient school facilities, lack of teachers' competence and teaching styles, inappropriate learning materials and contents, uncomfortable classroom condition and negative classmates' attitudes, and lack of self-confidence. School and teachers must take these factors into account in their English instruction as they have several impacts on the students‟ overall learning. Some improvements must be taken accordingly to minimize the possible causes of student demotivation in English language learning.
