This paper focuses on motivation of middle and low level English learners related to their self-esteem. Their emotional responses toward English learning in class often become seriously negative. In order to improve such negative attitudes, their psychological aspects should be analyzed in relation to the learners' more comprehensive learning attitudes, self-esteem. As the result of the factor analysis, two negative self-esteem factors were recognized. Considering the results it is important to take learners' self-esteem in the class into consideration not only focusing on their scholastic aspects.
