Abstract:

One of the things that might lower students' desire for learning a language is demotivating situations. This study looked into what discourages open educational college EFL students from studying languages. It also examined the pedagogical consequences and suggestions for fostering incentives of EFL learners from the viewpoints of teachers. The research included 150 EFL learners and English language instructors from open educational colleges in Iraq. Two tools of research, a survey and semi-organized interviews with instructors and learners, are employed to gather the study's data. The findings showed that the most often-cited demotivating issues for Iraqi open educational college EFL students and English language teachers were those connected to subjects and context. The findings also indicated that the most demotivating elements for EFL students were a lack of engaging subject matter, a lack of English-practice opportunities, and an emphasis on grammar. Teachers have also made a number of suggestions for enhancing students' motivation, that's include utilizing technology, extrinsic reward and encouragement, as well as competitive and collaborative work.
