“…From the analysis, students perceive one of the most significant extrinsic pushing factors that influence learning is sustaining and improving their overall grade point average to score a good grade. This is supported by prior studies (Sa'adan et al, 2023;Zolkapli et al, 2023) that receiving good grades serves as a pushing factor in foreign language learning.…”

“…Instead, it is moved by student's expectancy of what they are obtaining from the program, the way they perceive the program, and as well as the valence of the program. findings are aligned with Ali et al, 2023;Anuar et al, 2023;Hashim et al, 2023;Sa'adan et al, 2023;Yusof et al, 2023;Zolkapli et al, 2023; whereby students highly value the expectancy, instrumentality, and valence of the program.…”

“…Empirical studies also exist investigating only the pushing factors behind learning English as a Foreign language (Rahman et al, 2017Sa'adan et al, 2023). Compared with studies on EFL pushing factors and fatigue, less evidence exists regarding communication skills (Zolkapli et al, 2023) and reasons for drop out (Yusof et al, 2023). Different profiles of foreign language students in Malaysia were examined (secondary schools, pre-university, undergraduates, and postgraduates) but the studies were focused solely on English as a second or foreign language.…”

“…Numerous researches have been conducted to look into the motivation behind learning. A study by Zolkapli et al (2023), which explores the motivation and demotivation factors for learning communication skills, found that two factors namely extrinsic goal orientation and control beliefs for learning had significant impacts on students' motivation, thus affecting how well students learn. In relation to that, Zain et al (2023) study showed that learning a foreign language is motivated by both internal and external factors for Malaysian students.…”

“…There have been many past studies on learning motivation. The study by Zolkapli et al (2023) is done to explore the motivating and demotivating factors amongst pre-university students and the effects on their communication skills. This quantitative approach collected the data from a purposive sample of 271 UiTM Centre of Foundation Studies students via survey, drawing inspiration from Pintrich & De Groot (1990) for motivation and Campos et al ( 2011) for burnout factors.…”

The prevalence of student fatigue is a familiar academic scenario. Nonetheless, a student's motivation can be seen as the learning driving force which has a mediator role in alleviating fatigue. The present study aims to examine the association between learning pushing factors and fatigue sources. This study employs a quantitative approach to 125 purposive samples from a public higher institution. The instrument employed is a 5 Likert-scale survey and is rooted in (Pintrich & DeGroot, 1990;Campos et al., 2011). The survey has 3 sections with 24 items on pushing factors and 16 items on fatigue. The moderate positive correlation found between pushing factors and causes of fatigue may lead to other relevant studies that can fill the gap of literature in academic settings. A more detailed study needs to be carried out in the form of burnout to develop guidelines or models that contribute to alleviating fatigue among students. In conclusion, the findings of the study reflected the significance of the implications for pedagogy and provided valuable insights for future researchers to explore the themes, particularly in learning French as a foreign language in Malaysian public universities.

English is crucial to achieve academic success and fulfil social needs of the language in today’s society. Several studies have reported that the reasons for learning English could facilitate learners to learn the language more seriously with the aim to be proficient and successful in acquiring the language. However, the reasons for learning the English language may be a factor that could lead to academic burnout. Therefore, this study explored the reasons for learning English and burnout among pre-university students. A quantitative approach was done to investigate reasons for learning English and its relation to students’ burnout. The survey used was derived from Pintrich and De Groot’s (1990) reasons for learning and Campos et al.’s (2011) causes of burnout. A purposive sample of 271 UiTM Centre of Foundation Studies students responded to the survey. The findings of this study revealed the affective component was the most significant cause of academic burnout due to maladaptive perfectionism whereby learners were concerned about making mistakes especially when they focused on learning English to excel in tests and examinations. Conclusively, the relationship between the reasons for learning English language and cause of burnout has prominent implications for academic institutions and educators to foster a positive and successful learning environment by providing resources and assistance programmes for students to manage academic difficulties and social stresses in English language learning.

This study delves into the intricate interplay between motivating and demotivating factors in the context of learning. Education and skill acquisition are influenced by a myriad of factors that either inspire or hinder learners' engagement and progress. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the learning process, it is crucial to examine both factors and explore the relationships between these factors. This paper synthesizes existing research and theories to shed light on how motivating and demotivating factors are interconnected and how they contribute to learners' experiences of burnout. This study adopted a quantitative method survey involving 183 respondents from technical and non-technical courses in a public university in Malaysia. The instrument consists of three sections namely demographic with 3 items, followed by motivation with 24 items and demotivation section with 16 items. Through the quantitative analysis and the conceptual framework, this paper highlights instances where motivating and demotivating factors interact, potentially exacerbating burnout. The analysis of the correlation coefficient (r=.525**) and p-value(p=.000) reveals a significant and strong positive relationship between motivation and demotivation factors in learning. The study's outcomes provide evidence that learners' motivation and demotivation factors are not mutually exclusive but are interconnected in a way that warrants careful consideration.
