초록

This study explored demotivating factors and their causal relationships in relation to Korean EFL learners. With 208 college students participating in the research, this study performed Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) to extract demotivating factors. Moreover, this study is to look into the causal relationships among the different factors. According to the results, first, the demotivating factors were defined by five different factors: learners, instructors, learning environment, negative attitude toward the L2 and L2 culture, and parents. Second, the results of the path analysis showed a path of causal relationship amongst the five factors. The parents factor showed the critical value (.49), influencing negative attitude toward L2 learning. Statistically significant influences are defined by the following factors: from instructors to negative attitude toward L2 (.27), from environment to learner factor (.43), from negative attitude toward L2 learning to learner (.38), from the learner to English language proficiency (.57), and from negative attitude toward English language proficiency (-.39). Specifically, this study found that parents factor is one of the crucially demotivating factors affecting EFL learners. Parents could make effective learning experiences for the targeted learners if they put their efforts into L2 learning not as a learning supervisor but as a learning facilitator. Pedagogical implications are presented in detail.
