On the contrary, the notion \"unmotivation\" (Sakui & Cowie, 2012) has remained equally underresearched as an area of study. The present study is an attempt to embark on scholarly investigation on learner unmotivation in the context of Bangladesh. Here, four EFL teachers from three different universities offer narratives on student writers‘ unmotivation in writing class. The participants reveal the factors causing learner unmotivation as well as share the strategies for handling unmotivation. According to the participant teachers, factors yielding unmotivation in student writers include personal, social, and national level factors, alongside teachers' lesson planning and teaching. To address these factors actions such as reinforcing students positively, offering them freedom during learning, notifying them early about a lesson‘s significance and objectives, and revising the approach to providing feedback can be effective. On the basis of these findings, derived through Narrative inquiry (Barkhuizen, Benson, & Chik, 2014), the research offers some pedagogical and research implications at the end.","PeriodicalId":142370,"journal":{"name":"BELTA Journal","volume":"203 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114472396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
