This study aims to investigate learners? perspective on teaching strategies which motivate learners to speak English. Thirty university learners were given questionnaires and one learner was inter- viewed. The 5-point Likert scale questionnaires were interpreted based on ranges of criteria. The interview was used to support or clarify the findings from the questionnaires. This study showed that five teaching strategies: problem-solving strategies, simulation, lecture, role play, and direct con- tact belonged to a strong criterion (mean: 3.00 ? 3.99). It indicated that those strategies motivated learners to speak. In addition, the other five teaching strategies: brainstorming, demonstration, games, large-group discussion, and one-to-one teaching strategies showed the mean score rang- ing from 4.00 to 5.00 which belonged to a very strong criterion indicating that these teaching strategies strongly motivated learners to practice speaking. The current study concluded that the ten teaching strategies motivated learners to speak English; therefore, the use of those teaching strat- egies in teaching speaking skills should be taken into account by teachers and course designers to help learners enhance their speaking skills.

Demotivation has been an issue in many EFL countries as revealed by many prior studies. However, limited studies were conducted to investigate it in Indonesian context, particularly in Indonesian higher education level. This qualitative study was done to investigate demotivators perceived by EFL teachers in Indonesia. To collect the data, three Non-English Department teachers were involved in a semi-structured interview. They were asked to share their perceptions and experiences on what demotivated them as teachers. The results showed nine factors causing demotivation among Indonesian college teachers. Teachers' poor physical fitness, students' negative attitudes, responses and behaviors, unfixed curriculum and school systems, poor salary, poor quality of school facilities, abundant administrative tasks, poor relationship among colleagues, inappropriate teaching materials, and lack of opportunity for professional development were reported as demotivators undergone by the teachers. The study was concluded by offering some implications to cope with demotivators.

One of the learning media used by Indonesian high school students to support their learning is in the form of a student worksheet, commonly called Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS). This study aims to examine the reasons why Indonesian high school students used LKS as their learning media and the challenges they faced in using LKS both during the teaching and learning process in the classroom and in their independent learning. This research was conducted at one public school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Four students who used LKS during their English lesson and in their autonomous learning were purposefully selected as the participants of the study. To obtain the data, one-on-one in-depth interviews were administered. The results of the study revealed that the reason for using LKS was to support their learning due to its content, usefulness, handiness, and affordable price. Nonetheless, the participants also found that LKS was challenging to use because of its short explanation, lack of questions, the ambiguity of answers, and poor face validity. At last, suggestions to improve the use of LKS as a learning medium were addressed.
