Abstract: The present study was an attempt first to get the perspectives of two groups who are basically involved in the teaching and learning processes namely, language teachers and learners, regarding their views about the factors which may negatively affect the speaking performance of language learners; and second, to see what the similarities and differences are between the students and teachers ’ attitudes on the same issue. To achieve such a purpose, 215 Iranian male and female EFL learners and teachers were selected in the pre- and post- stages of the study to fill in the two developed questionnaires (one pertaining to students and one for teachers) on demotivating factors of speaking skill. Having analyzed the gathered data through repeated measure ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni tests, it was revealed that students believe that factors related to teachers, equipments and class utility are the three most demotivating factors as far as speaking skill is concerned. Besides, based on teachers ' perspective, the three most discouraging factors are related to teachers, time and classroom.
