These classes are designed in order to prevent demotivation and to encourage remotivation, adopting the results of previous researches. For this research, a questionnaire consisting of four factors is administered: student, teacher, teaching method, environment. The results show that student factor is the primary source in L2 demotivation regardless of students’ levels, and teacher factor is least influential across the levels. On the other hand, teaching method factor is progressed most effectively in this program. In the proficient levels, high level has the most meaningful differences, and both middle and low levels show effective differences in teaching method factor and student factor respectively. According to the 306 sheets of counseling diaries, students have various characteristics and reasons for the program, and overall they attribute the rise of self-confidence to the program.
