Advisors: (1) Dr. Noor Rachmawaty. M.Ed (2) Dr. Istanti Hermagustiana, M.A The term "demotivation" describes a lack of attention and interest in learning. In other words, it describes the process where a learner's initially strong learning motivation starts to decrease as a result of bad learning environments, ineffective teaching methods, negative learning experiences, and repeated failures. This study aimed: (1) To know the highest factor causing demotivation that occurs in sixth-grade Elementary School students in rural areas in learning English as a foreign language. (2) To know how the highest factors that cause demotivation affect sixth-grade students at Elementary Schools in rural areas in the learning English process as a foreign language.This study used a mixed-method design. The participants of this study were 50 sixthgrade elementary school students. Questionnaires and interviews were used as the instrument for this study. The questionnaire results showed that the six factors causing demotivation to occur in the student English learning process, and the highest factor is (1) classroom environment, in the form of inadequate classroom facilities and unpleasant classroom environment. Followed by (2) the effect of low test scores, (3) lack of self-confidence, (4) grammar-based teaching, in the form of merely being too preoccupied with grammar (5) subject matter, in the form of uninteresting topics in English lessons and (6) teacher behavior, in the form of lack of teacher’s teaching competence. Meanwhile, the Classroom environment as the highest factor causing demotivation affects students' English learning process in the form of lack of peer support and lack of classroom facilities. Furthermore, in the process of learning English, factors from teachers that cause demotivation are also found, in the form of the teacher’s lack of professional skills and the teacher’s bad attitude. Moreover, parental factors were also found to be a factor that causes demotivation in the English language learning process, in the form of lack of parent care and parent's lack of English knowledge. Teachers should promote healthy peer connections, clear communication, and interesting instructional approaches to increase students' motivation. Parents should actively support and be interested in their children's learning endeavors. By addressing these elements jointly, teachers as well as parents may work together to create a more conducive and inspiring environment for students to prosper in their English learning process.
