Abstract: This study explores the dynamics of motivation, exhaustion, and disengagement among students engaged in e-language courses among language and communication students in a public university in Malaysia. The objectives were to investigate how learners perceive these factors and examine their interplay within this context. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilised a survey research design with a questionnaire as the primary instrument to collect data from a sample of 138 undergraduate students enrolled in e-language courses. The findings revealed that while students exhibit strong extrinsic motivations driven by grades and recognition, they also experience moderate levels of exhaustion due to academic pressures. Additionally, there was evidence of cognitive disengagement during classes despite overall engagement with course materials. The study’s implications highlight the importance of creating supportive learning environments that address both academic demands and emotional well-being.
