Difficulties In Speaking English

812 Words4 Pages

Their level of motivation was affected with the problems which they faced regarding speaking English. They did not speak in English because they were afraid of making mistakes aside from feeling nervous and anxious when required to speak in English. Those issues led them to feel uncomfortable when speaking the target language. Apart from that, such problems in Item 2, Item 4 and Item 8 may lead to further problems in English language such as lack of comprehension, inability to speak fluently (Boonkit, 2010). Focusing on the issue at hand, in regards of social expressions, none of them spoke in English when showing appreciation and requesting for something and not even to apologise and explain why they were apologising in the first place. These were the main factors which I believed led me into wanting to help them improve their spoken language through the use of social expressions.The Figure 2.2 above showed the sample responses written down by me after asking some situation prompts to participant K and S during the diagnostic test. Both participants were chosen based on the fact that they could give responses to the questions I often ask but not in full English language, yet I wanted to know how they both would respond if I asked using the social …show more content…

These social expressions were selected because it was stated in the Year 5’s DSKP that the participants would be able to participate in daily conversations for a variety of purposes (Ministry of Education, 2011) . In order to put this intervention of DCB into optimum use, I followed the steps from Florez’s Five-Stage Model in the speaking class. The model suggested that a speaking lesson should follow the pattern of preparation, presentation, practice, evaluation and extension (Florez, 1999) as cited in Wang

    The first being that my participant sometimes struggled coming up with responses. She could not always think of something she felt was worth telling even though I instructed her to speak whatever came to her mind first. The second point being I got many simplistic responses from the words I chose. That could be because the words themselves were not the greatest in eliciting meaningful responses, or it could be that my participant just was not thinking deeply about what it meant to her. I could tell from her responses that she enjoys people that are close to her and the hobbies and activities that she participates in.

    As Barnwell observes his students flounder in his conversational project, he realizes, “that conversational competence might be the single-most overlooked skill we fail to teach students,” (Par. 5). Through his personal reflection, Barnwell trivializes the issue as more of a lack of skill rather than a deep psychological issue. He is right, there is defiantly a lack of conversational skill in this generation, however, that is more of a symptom than it is the root of the disease. Barnwell’s solution for teachers is to “have a conversation,” with the students “about a challenging topic” (Par. 14). This is a good solution for the problem posed.

    Parents should constantly speak to their children from the moment of birth. As the child is the receiver, the child is absorbing the language through his/her parents, which he/she will later on implement throughout his/her daily life (Berk and Winsler, 1995). Through spoken language, the child encounters new vocabulary; therefore parents or guardians need to use a variety of vocabulary to help the child broaden his/her range of vocabulary, as the parents or guardians are their child 's language role models (Dickinson and Tabors, 2001). As the child starts to develop and begins to experiment in speaking, the parents or guardians should be at the child 's assistance in building on what he/she has heard his/her parents say and perform it in his/her language base. As learning starts from the home environment, each family member should help the child understand and put in practice language on a daily basis (Berk and Winsler,

  • Language Acquisition Literature Review

    In the English learning literature, the development of a positive attitude towards learning could be attributed to Integrativeness, or the genuine desire to learn a new language so that one can communicate with the members of the community who use the language as their medium of communication (Dörnyei, 1998). However, as the world has become more borderless as exemplified by the EU and the ASEAN, other attitudinal factors were conceptually included. The additions were attributed to the changing of concept from ‘English is a second language to learn’ to ‘English as an international language’(Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2009). This resulted to the addition of other attitudinal factors that include Direct contact with English speakers (attitude towards actually meeting English speakers and travelling to their countries) ; Cultural interest (appreciation of cultural products from English speaking countries conveyed by the media); Miliu (the general perception of the importance of English in the learners’ friends and family) (Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2009). From the aforementioned attitudinal factors, the following hypotheses were
