520 _a'Abstract Everybody needs to have motivation and a reason for action. Second and foreign language learners should be offered the opportunity to be motivated and fulfill their learning orientations. The purpose of this study is to describe and examine Iraqi undergarduate students' intrinsic and extrensic motivation and toe examine the students' integrative and instrumental orientations towards learning English as a foreign language in Iraq. Additionally, the study aims to recognize the possible demotivational factors that may influence the students' motivation negatively. In the study, 150 EFL Iraqi students (68 male & 82 females) participated in completing a questionnaire to determine the students' tendancy towards the two kinds of motivation reflecting their orientations for learning English and what affects negatively their English learning motivation. They are undergraduate students from different levels ranging from 2nd to 4th yearand their ages are between 19-28 years. Unexpectedly, the data revealed that Iraqi undergraduate students have a higher degree of intrinsic that extensic motivation and it also showed that EFL Iraqi students were highly instrumentally and integartively motivated to study English, and their instrumental motivation appeared to be a little higher than their integrative motivation. Those unusual results were attributed to Iraqi students' interest in knowing more about English-speaking people and learning about their societies and cultures, and that was due to strong attitude Iraqi students have had towards them. Contrary to the findings of other related studies, difficulties with language item in English such as vocabulary and structures were found to be in the first place in items of demotivating factors. Based on the findings, recommendations and some implications which are significant to educators and policymakers as well as to researchers are provided. At last it is hoped that the results of this study could be of much benefit for developing , teaching and learning English in Iraq. KEYWORDS: Motivation, Intrinsic motivation, Extrinsic motivation, Instrumental orientation, Integrative orientation, Demotivation, EFL, Iraqi undergraduate students.'
