This study aimed to analyze the viewpoint of newly hired English language instructors and preparatory year students on demotivating factors that hinder English language learning. The data for this study were collected by means of a questionnaire about factors that demotivate English language learning. Newly hired English language instructors and preparatory year students responded to the questionnaire. The analysis of the gathered data revealed the following results. First, teachers and students viewed “Students’ Behavior” and “Teacher’s Behavior” as the leading demotivating factors in English language learning. Second, both respondents viewed “Poor Teaching Style” and “Poor Learning Style” as the topmost demotivating factors related to teachers and students. Third, all respondents believed that “Course Content”, “Course Requirements” and “Classroom Environment” are the least demotivating factors that affect English language learning. Last, there were some differences of ratings given to the main factors as well as to the sub-factors.
