This study sought to uncover the root of the negative feelings first-year students experienced while studying Phonetics at the Department of English, University of Frères Mentouri, Constantine1. Maintaining positive perceptions about the teaching-learning process is influential in paving the way for effective foreign language learning. The present paper attempts to find the correlation between different learning elements: Classroom conditions, peers' influence, methods and strategies used in Phonetics teaching with first-year classes, and the learners' preconceived negative thoughts. A questionnaire was employed as the primary data collection tool. The findings revealed that students' lack of motivation to learn was caused by multiple factors, including the opinion of former students regarding the subject matter, classroom conditions, and the techniques and pedagogical tools used by teachers. These findings confirm the correlation between the learners' preconceived negative thoughts and the mentioned factors.
