Abstract

This paper examines the intricate connections among motivational repression, dissociative disorder, and language teaching and learning. The paper delves into the relationships between motivational repression and dissociative disorder, as well as motivational repression and language teaching and learning through an overview study. Motivational repression, a psychological defense mechanism, safeguards the self by consciously or unconsciously depressing unacceptable desires, opinions, or distressing experiences. Dissociative disorder is characterized by the breakdown of memory, self-awareness, or cognitive function, often triggered by severe stress or profound trauma. Language teaching and learning encompass purposeful instructional activities aimed at teaching both first and second languages. It underscores the significance of fostering a positive teaching environment for enhancing student motivation and emotional well-being.
