Recently, not only students’ motivation but also teachers’ motivation affects students’ academic achivement. It is assumed that dissatified results of Indonesian education quality is caused by demotivation of teachers. This paper is aimed at discussing the causes and solutions of teachers’ demotivation in ELT.
