摘　　要：Through a questionnaire survey of 560 minority high-school students in western China and interviews with 24 of them, this paper explores their English learning demotivators. Combined with exploratory factor analysis, the results indicate that major demotivators are linguistic competence, learning strategy, textbooks, social factor, teachers’ moral cultivation, language attitude, self-efficacy and teachers’ professional knowledge and ability. Theoretically, this paper finds linguistic competence factor and social factor, which enriches the findings of previous relevant researches.
