Resumen

The purpose of this study was to focus on the perspectives, problems, and suggestions of rural EFL teachers while teaching English to students in rural areas. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factors affecting students' motivation to learn English in the rural area of Ponce Enriquez. The technique used was a survey. The primary outcome was to understand from the students' perceptions the elements that impact the lack of motivation and the value of learning a foreign language. In addition, this study found that the main obstacles faced by EFL teachers in rural locations were students' low enthusiasm for learning English. As a result, the participants made joint recommendations to English teachers in rural areas.
