Luan an Do an ABSTRACT The current study aims at investigating the demotivating factors in speaking lessons among high school students at Le Van Huu High school, Thanh Hoa province Demotivation is a relatively new issue in the field of second language (L2) motivation In this study, several previous studies were reviewed to investigate demotivation of learners of English in order to identify common demotivating factors It also reports a survey study which explored demotivating factors for students at Le Van Huu high school in the speaking lessons.Through the data analysis, five demotivating factors were extracted: (1) teachers’ competence and teaching style; (2) learning environment and facilities; (3) assessment of speaking skill; (4) lack of self-confidence and (5) minor intrinsic motivation The results showed that the teachers’ competence and teaching style were demotivating factors for many Le Van Huu high school students, especially for less motivated learners Contrary to what previous research suggested, textbook and curriculum were not a very strong source of demotivation Based on the results, some pedagogical implications were put forward for solving the problem viii Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd
