2319 Words10 Pages

Background Information

Speaking is regarded as the hardest skill among the 4 language skills because it requires great bravery and preparation for language production. Students' personalities may determine how fast they attain this skill. For instance, it takes time for learners who are shy to speak confidently, but the mistakes they make will be just a few. In contrast, learners who are brave will take full advantage to speak the target language as much as they can, but they may not recognize the mistakes in their speech. Students may consider whether speaking a lots with mistakes or thinking carefully to reduce errors is better. In this situation, students should be motivated that speaking as much as they can is better than caring too much about the language structures.
Lacking learners' involvement in speaking activities is the present problem in language classrooms. Several learners feel uncomfortable to speak when someone is listening to and looking at them. Some of them refuse to speak and just keep quiet. They feel uneasy to speak a new language. During the speaking practice, most learners are afraid that their mistakes may …show more content…

Task-based instruction stresses the importance of the task role in this process.

  • Ells Chapter 3 Summary

    Therefore, I found it beneficial that this chapter addressed this concept and the importance of reducing a student's anxiety, while also increasing their motivation and self-confidence in order to shift their mindset in regards to language and content learning. To me, this is one area where educators can quickly miss the cues that their students are giving them. For example, a student not actively participating in a class discussion or writing activity because they feel that they do not have the communication skills in order to express their thoughts with their peers or with the teacher. Consequently, the educator must not first label this child incapable or lazy, but rather, address the discomfort and general comfortability of the student. Additionally, I think it is important for teachers to keep their content at an appropriately rigorous level while ensuring that students still acquiring the English language can find symbolic, graphic means, or other means of representing the content and drawing a clear comprehension of what it is that is being taught.

Some researchers argue that cyber-slacking in the classroom has to do with the accessibility to internet and distracting websites unrelated to the class topic, the positive attitudes students have toward cyber-slacking, and conforming to the social pressures (Taneja, Fiore, & Fischer, 2014).
