A Systematic Review on the Teachers' and Students' Demotivation in EFL Teaching and Learning

This study aims to understand better the demotivation towards EFL teaching and learning and analyze and synthesize the research studies carried out between March 2017 and December 2022 to illustrate global demotivation. This study's design, which employs the qualitative approach and is based on a systematic, integrative literature review, is descriptive in nature. This study is conducted methodically to create more broadly relevant or generally applicable data on the topic under investigation. Therefore, 57 research articles were chosen for analysis. Document analysis was employed in this study to collect the data. It was found that most participants of these studies encountered demotivation in their English teaching-learning. Their demotivation was affected by the materials, tools, subjects, rules, and community. The results of this study present suggestions for pedagogical implications to impede demotivation among EFL learners. These results may be helpful for researchers to contribute to the existing literature and focus on the areas in which the current research fails to explain.
