Demotivasi kerap kali menjadi sebuah tantangan yang dialami oleh siswa dalam belajar bahasa inggris di sekolah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan siswa mengalami demotivasi dalam belajar bahasa Inggris serta menyelidiki tantangan yang memengaruhi motivasi siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris pada siswa kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 11 Tarakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode mixed-methods dengan desain Explanatory Sequential Design. Data kuantitatif diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada siswa kelas VIII, sedangkan data kualitatif diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap enam siswa yang dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling berdasarkan nilai akhir bahasa Inggris terendah. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi kuesioner, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Data kuantitatif dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dengan bantuan SPSS 25, sedangkan data kualitatif dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa demotivasi siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dipengaruhi oleh faktor internal dan eksternal yang saling berkaitan. Faktor internal meliputi kesulitan dalam mempelajari bahasa Inggris, kurangnya minat belajar, dan rasa bosan, sedangkan faktor eksternal mencakup pengaruh lingkungan belajar, metode pengajaran, serta dukungan sosial yang terbatas. Selain itu, siswa menghadapi tantangan linguistik, afektif, instruksional, dan sosiokultural, dengan tantangan sosiokultural sebagai faktor yang paling dominan. Temuan penelitian juga menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang erat antara demotivasi dan tantangan belajar, di mana berbagai kesulitan yang dialami siswa berkontribusi terhadap menurunnya kepercayaan diri dan partisipasi mereka dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris. Demotivation is often a challenge faced by students when learning English at school. This study aimed to identify the factors causing students to experience demotivation in learning English and to investigate the challenges affecting students' motivation in learning English among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 11 Tarakan. This study employed a mixed-methods approach using an explanatory sequential design. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to eighth-grade students, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with six students selected using purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using an interactive model comprising data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of the study indicated that students' demotivation in learning English was influenced by interrelated internal and external factors. Internal factors included difficulties in learning English, a lack of interest in learning, and boredom, while external factors included the influence of the learning environment, teaching methods, and limited social support. In addition, students faced linguistic, affective, instructional, and sociocultural challenges, with sociocultural challenges being the most dominant factor. The research findings also revealed a strong correlation between demotivation and learning challenges, wherein the various difficulties experienced by students contributed to a decline in their self-confidence and participation in English language learning.

Speaking skills are a crucial aspect of effective communication, both in academic settings and daily life. However, many students-particularly those learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) continue to face challenges in mastering this skill due to various internal and external barriers. This study aims to identify the factors that inhibit the English-speaking skills of second-semester students in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Borneo Tarakan. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with 19 students, supported by questionnaires and classroom observations. The data were analyzed thematically and validated through instrument triangulation. The findings reveal that psychological factors-such as anxiety, fear of making mistakes, lack of self-confidence, and shyness-are the most dominant barriers. Furthermore, linguistic challenges, such as limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, and pronunciation, also contributed. External factors such as an unsupportive environment and limited speaking opportunities also contribute to students' difficulties. Conversely, the use of technology and media was found to have a positive impact on increasing students' motivation and participation in speaking activities. The findings of this study confirm that internal factors need to be addressed first to improve speaking skills.
