Study Notes
Language Acquisition Challenges
- Learning a language presents significant challenges, particularly in developing speaking skills.
- Challenges vary based on individual factors, but common issues include:
Lack of Confidence
- Many learners fear making mistakes, hindering their willingness to speak.
- This fear of judgment or embarrassment leads to hesitation and slows learning.
- Lack of confidence prevents students from trying new vocabulary or complex structures.
Pronunciation and Intonation
- Correct pronunciation and intonation patterns can be challenging, especially if the student's first language has different sounds or stress patterns.
- Mispronunciations make it difficult for others to understand the speaker, causing frustration and discouragement.
Limited Vocabulary
- A limited vocabulary makes fluent expression difficult.
- Students may know what they want to say but lack the specific words to express themselves effectively.
