Abstract	The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that impact upon foreign EFL teachers' motivation levels in a Turkish context. The participants were four foreign EFL teachers working at primary and secondary schools for more than two years in Turkey. This qualitative study used multiple data collection tools (e.g., profile information form, open-ended questions, and semi-structured interviews) to examine their de-motivational reasoning. Findings showed that unsuitable content of course book, students' bad attitudes towards native EFL teachers, high expectation of parents, the low process of students' language learning, lack of communication with colleagues, not being awarded, low salary, lack of discipline, long workhours, crowded classroom, duties, and students' unwillingness to learn English are demotivating factors on foreign EFL teachers.
