چکیده

Aimed at identifying and categorizing the reasons behind dropout factors among English students, the present research was projected in a less privileged area. Initially, drawing on an existing questionnaire developed and validated by Javan and Modarresi (2018) titled ‘Foreign Language Learners’ Dropout’ (FLLD), the researchers made an attempt to adjust some existing factors, which might lead to stop joining English classes in an Iranian context- private English schools in Joghatai, Iran. Datasets were validated via analyzing some English teachers’ perspectives. The findings revealed two sets of factors, which were classified into two main subsets, including 1) external and 2) internal variables. Internal factors encompassed learners’ lack of confidence, lack of time and budget, marital status, and moving to a new place and external factors involved teacher effect, school environment, staff behaviors, school management, and classmate interactions. Possible implications of the study including dropout factors esp. among English language learners were provided in the end.
