I often have students from many countries in my classrooms. Students from Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Columbia, and many other countries. I know what to expect when these students come together for the first time.
Some of my students speak out and actively engage in the classroom without a care in the world if their grammar is correct or not; other students, however, are almost paralyzed with fear, and they won't say anything until they are absolutely sure that their grammar is perfect . . . and by that time, I'm eating my lunch 20 minutes after the class ended.
Unfortunately, all of these students don't know how to interpret each other's classroom behavior. Are they shy? Are they asleep? Are they bored?
Thus, during the first few days of class, I try to explain how past classroom experiences and expectation in different countries affects what students say and do in my classroom.
Thus, my question to you is this: Are students from your country hesitant to participate in class, and if so, why? Share your ideas.

I go to school in the morning
ReplyDeleteI eat breakfast at 10 o'clock
I think every studennt is shy first,and then they find the cinfidence they need to participate in class and talk with their classmates.
ReplyDeleteI think so
ReplyDeletel think so
ReplyDeleteI don't think so
ReplyDeleteNot all Asians are shy. Only Japanese students are hesitant to speak out. One reason is that they don't want to be viewed as being outspoken. Another reason is they simply lack the ability to speak English. Japanese people can spend their whole life without speaking a word of English.
ReplyDeleteSome students are outgoing and very involved in the class, but others are shy or fearful that their classmates will make fun of.
ReplyDeleteThat situation occurs because the students don't have the engough knowledge to discuss the subject in class. Thus, they don't feel like speak.
ReplyDeleteI think that the japanese school is very hard beacuse they learn in some languages, and some day I will study there.
ReplyDeleteHi!!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Brazil this topic is being vere nice for my learning. Thaks for advices!!
In my coutry Colombia the people are very funny, they are happys and outgoing but in the time learn englinsh the shyness is evident
ReplyDeleteEn mi país (Colombia) las personas son graciosas, felices y extrovertidas, pero al momento de aprender ingles la timidez es notable
Thanks
ReplyDeletei wake up at 8:00 am then i take 15 minutes to take my tea . i walk to the school with my friends , i attend the lecture at 9:00 Am , the first lecture is english , i finish my day at 2:00 Am and i go to the home to play with my friends .
ReplyDeleteIn Brazil, there are several foreign language courses. I've done some of them and there are shy people in all of them. They may even know how to speak, but they are ashamed. The other option is that they do not know all the content and are insecure in talking and making mistakes.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, thanks for your beautiful site.
ReplyDeleteI think most of students in Asian are shy. Because they were born from traditional family. They must always listen their parents and don't argue. Your parents always right! So, they also hesitant.
I think it depends on student. Many students hesitate to speak because they are afraid speaking in wrong form.
ReplyDeleteI go to school at 9 am. because all of subject dont start the same time. somedays it starts at 9 am. somedays at 13.30.. because of this everyday I get up different time. I go to on bus.
ReplyDeleteI get up at 6.30 am because i live near my school . After brush my teeth , wash my face , get dress and eat my breakfast i walk to school with my friend . i study 6 lesson from 7.00 am to 12.00am . I feel very tired . Then i go home and have lunch .
ReplyDeleteI think that depends of the students and teachers sometimes the people don`t respect their teachers or meik jokes during the class but is neccesary the docent put rules in his classes for example when i was in the school was dificult to pay attention in the classes because there were a group os the students that always was bothering in class and the teacher did nit say anything so that depends of the students and teacher
ReplyDeleteIn brazil there are many types of scholl, public school, private school, military school and others. The education is very different in each one. unfortunately nowadays the public education is not good like ago and you have to pay for a good education.
ReplyDeleteThere are different methods of teaching in classes
ReplyDeleteIn Mexico you go to school at 7 am, then you catch the subway or a bus. I learn with my teacher and often study my highs chool
ReplyDeleteHi,the lessons from the video was really good,it gave a lot of insights on how to search for facts online,Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a not bad place to practice writing. For the topic from Author, I think most of my country student are shy.
ReplyDeleteActually asian kids are shy but just the first week, then they are even more outgoing than the native kids.
ReplyDeletemaybe is because they not have confidence because they don't Know the language,and they think that when they speak they will say another thing or say something wrong. so i think that they needs know that it's good confuse
ReplyDeleteEvery day I getup at 6:45 am.Then 7:15 I get dressed and eat my breakfast, at 7:45 after I left home and walk to school I arrive at 8:00 am and go to the classroom and I finish my school day at 12:30 but we take a break for 30 minutes and we have to go back to the classroom . We don't have a place to eat lunch like a cafeteria so we just have a big area in the middle of the school where we do our different activities like physical education and we play different games every day. This is my schedule for the whole week .
ReplyDeleteI am just staring my classes to get better in my English and also start a career, I feel so bless of having all this tools and support to keep learning, thank you Randall to help us to improve our selves.
ReplyDeleteIT DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE COUNTRY. Each person is individual, everything depends on education, social environment.
ReplyDeleteIf they are not well prepared, it's going to be difficult to share ideas in english. Maybe that's the reason for her shyness
ReplyDeleteIt seems related to Asian culture, especially confucianism. Confucianism teaches kids to be polite and respect people. Most important Confucianism manner is listening to other people. So, Asian students are usually don't express their emotion.
ReplyDeleteIn my country, you are right when talking about the students is fear. They are really hesitant before say something in the classs, because they are affraid of their grammar that making them not confident. I Think we should change the way to study with strongly confident.
ReplyDeletei think many people can not hear when the Englishs or Americans talking or reading because some of vocabularys that is finish with s or t and after it is vowel , one more they do not many new works so please inprove them how to learn and hear ...
ReplyDeleteOf course, the culture is an important element in person's behaviour at classes. As I noticed, for Asian children it is normal to be shy. I remembered how I was silent at school when I didn't do my homework or don't know answers. I became reddish you know...It was awful. Now I am more confident.
ReplyDeleteBut I think that the teachers in the Asia allways want to control class. Although in the Asia are many student in a classroom and teachers cannot to attend evrybody. so it is impossibe that all of the students speak. You may speak if you are more TUFF than others.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, some of students are not be confident with their English language so that they be shy and keep silent in the class, but sometime culture of their countries are respect and keep listening when teacher say...
ReplyDeleteof couse, always there. i think it's normal because students don't know what to do or what anybody wiil do if they don't be perfect, if the student don't be right. people are cruel, ever do.
ReplyDeleteI think that the students from my country are hesitant to participate in class depending of the class, for example if the class is about of some that the students don’t understand a lot , they will not participate because the fear of give an incorrect answer and that other students laugh, but when the students understand a lot the topic of the class it will have more participations.

ReplyDeleteya most of them hesitate
ReplyDeletei think thy afraid of being wrong
It seemed very good to me and we did not listen to the recordings of language students from all over the world and we discovered
ReplyDeleteWhat time does the person go to school
How does he or she get to school?
What does he or she study there?
What other information do you learn about the person's experience at school?
for me i go to school with a group at 8:00 am until 12:00 am we have 2 hours lunch break and we return to school until 6 pm then we go home.
ReplyDeleteIn Bulgaria, our school starts at eight a.m .We need to be at least fifteen minutes before the classes start. I am normally there from seven thirty a.m. Our school year is nine months long. From first grade to fourth grade we finish school on 30th May, fifth and sixth grade we finish on 15th June and seven grade and up finish on 30th of June. When the class starts everyone stands up and greats the teacher. Then the two kids that are in charge of the class homework say to the teacher how many children are there in the class and how many of them have done their homework. The children that did not do their homework get a note in their school report. Then we start the lesson. Our breaks are ten minutes long. Then we have a big break that is twenty minutes long. Our school hours are forty minutes long. We usually go home between twelve and one p.m. Some kids stay the afternoon in the school, because they have more classes. They do their homework there. We need to wear the school uniform every day and the girls need to have tied their hair on a bun, ponytail, etc. If somebody is late, our teacher does nothing. If someone has forgotten something he/she need to look from the other person. In our school, two kids sit on one desk. When you are fourth grade and up, you have a class president. He/she goes to the meetings. They try to make the school better.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, most of students are shy in the first time especially Asian students because of many reasons. First, a new environment has many different culture so they can't integrate with other students.Secondly, they can't be well in English. Besides that in their culture, they always respect their teacher through listening their teacher speaking. However, in many cases, it depend on your contents in your lesson. Therefore, you should make a plan for each student to understand their problems.
ReplyDeleteI am an English teacher in Peru. In my experience, I have a big problem, the students are very playful. Nowadays, the students are not shy.
ReplyDeleteI think than in México we are not shy, we want to translate when we´re hearing english and that is a problem, we have to listen to english but we have to know the word first
ReplyDeletei have finished electrical engineering of istanbul univercity.and all my education life is in turkey.i had taken english lessons in school for 9 years.and then i went to english preparation school in istanbul univercity.but i am not enough good in english.because i have never made practice enough.and i am always shy to speak english.because i think i speak wrong and the person who i speak cant understand me .i think the person who learn english never be shy.the person who learn english should be relax and be like a baby.ask everything and again everything like a baby
ReplyDeleteYup, I think too.
ReplyDeleteI live in Spain. In my Country is very difficult learn to English , We have´t good pronunciation, because all films are translated to spanish.So, We have embarrassment talk English in public
ReplyDeleteI think that there are different ways of teaching. There is no right or wrong answer,it just depends on the school.
ReplyDeleteI have some difficulties to understand audios. But I think that I need to practice more. I know that somethings needs more dedication. I want to learn English and this site will help me with this.
ReplyDeletehello, there are different methods of teaching in classes, the most effective is when taught with love and in a way you can attract them by joke related to the subject.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience (from school) when teacher asks a question most people are quiet, however, in every group there is atleast one person who is willing to speak. Even in a group of very shy people there is going to be one person who is a little bit less shy than others (although in a different group this person would be probably silent).
ReplyDeletei believe if the teacher is the keys,
ReplyDeleteno matter the place the deficiencies and cultures, who coordinates the responsible for the progress of the students and the teacher
Hi, i´m Silvia Villamizar, in my opinion, i like the practice of exercises.
ReplyDeleteIn my country a nightmare school day is:
When a student usually wakes up to 4:30 am and waits for 5 minutes and other 5 minutes and finally he gets up to 5:00 o clock am, he gets up afraid. quickly he takes a shower in 5 minutes and gets to dressed and he takes a breakfast and to go at school running. he arrives at school at 6:15 am, them student enter to class and he remembers that his homework is on the table of his bedroom, them takes a snack at 9:30 am he eats empanada and soda, and he returned at classroom and 5 minutes before finish the class, he is asleep. but listen to bell and again he stand up of chair and return at home. when he arrives, he takes a lunch and sleeps all the afternoon. more later, listen the phone, and is his friend and the student gets up at 5:oopm, he told his friend and at 8:oo at nigth he take food in family and his mother tell he that must washes dishes and glasses, and finaly he goes to the bedroom, he sit down to do the homework and he falls sleep on top of the task
I think that at the beginning to take English classes, it is normal to feel nervous or shy, but with the passage of time that will improve until you feel more confident that it is the same time that you can learn and get to the new language.
ReplyDeleteWell. I saw the students are very closed in Latin America with
ReplyDeletethe teachers, because the culture is in this form, I think it is in part for that little confidence the teachers bring them, and because we dont foment a culture of discipline in a correct way.
ME TOO, I don't say anything and I only listen to the teacher. That's boring but I don't know how to solve this problem
ReplyDeleteI think you right! maybe our education is wrong, it only emphasize the point you have but the thing we need is people.
ReplyDeleteI think that the best is try to make activitites to the students to make then more expresive and in that way maybe they can be no more ashamed
ReplyDeleteI guess it is depends on many things such as :
ReplyDeleteStudent personality - Education - Culture - Family traditional etc...
But I guess it is normal to be shy at first time in everything specially when it comes to learn languages but with the time that shy will be disappeared
In Colombia where I come from, English lessons are often seen as a must and not as something that is part of your life like in other countries. Due to a non so great educational system students dont get English lessons at the first years of school at the public entities, and thus they are kind of oblige to take private lessons or courses at adult age, which it makes it really complicated for them, it is well known adults have more difficulties to learn and feel much more shy to speak in front of others especially in a new language, so many of them retire before accomplishing them goal.
ReplyDeleteThanj You
In my country, most of student are really shy and dare not to speak English in classroom cuz they fear to be judge for speaking wrong grammar and they think a lot before speaking. In a conversation with foreigners they really want to talk with them but they think in their mother language and then translate it into English (in their mind) and then think if it's grammar is true and then sputter it carefully and oops where is everyone?
ReplyDeleteI think that some cultures are shyer than others. I don´t think that is a problem, it's just a cultural trait and we must respect these differences.
ReplyDeleteI consider that they hesitate to participate because of the fear of being wrong, and because it is not practiced then it is not familiar to us.
ReplyDeleteI am from Brazil. I think that our behavior in classroom, shy or not, depends on the desire to be perfect. Some people don`t want show their mistakes. So, they became shy and be in silence.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think all the students are a little shy and they are afraid because they are starting to study another foreign language, but I think they will probably improve over time, if they practice every day, maybe they will have more confidence. they have to learn how to keep the conversation going and how to move the conversation forward
ReplyDeleteI like your idea
ReplyDeleteI think it is the lack of knowledge, that is why people do not give their opinion on any subject that they do not know how to mark with the topic so they prefer to keep quiet and listen only to learn a little more as they are afraid to make mistakes giving an opinion
ReplyDeleteI think it is the lack of knowledge, that is why people do not give their opinion on any subject that they do not know how to handle with so they prefer to keep quiet and listen only to learn a little more about the topic since they are afraid to make mistakes giving an opinion

ReplyDeleteI see my students at first lessons. They sit drowsy and dont want write. And our themes are so boring and unuseful for them.
ReplyDeleteHi all first about my school Experience
ReplyDeleteI.m graduated right now i studied 15 years from the first year at school to my university
i remember my school dally Rotten
i go to school at 8 am and start to stand uo bow my teacher after that i take 7 lessons Arabic math science and sometime do Gym
after that i take lunch break and eat in my classroom or buy some food from the cafeteria i love my teachers a lot that.s about my school
thanks
most of the native people of my country Bolivia are shy and have an ambiguity when they speak another language, but the tourists are not afraid and express what they know in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI think all the students are shy because they are not sure of themselves.
ReplyDeleteI am from the Dominican Republic. Some students are hesitant because of their personality, however, other are talkative and funni. In my case, I am quiet.
ReplyDeletewell the students are not bored in their starting classes.As above mention that students don't talk if they are not perfect with their language.Whereas some students don't talk just because of fear.However after some time they will start interacting with their friends as well as teachers.
ReplyDeletethat's terrible with students in viet nam. We learn all of subjects such as math, literature, history,...and must get hight scores, the program of srudying very heavy so i feel very pressure!!
ReplyDeleteIn my country, almost of the students (include me) hesitant to participant in class because we scrare everyone will laugh at us when we say something wrong. This make us feel ashamed
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, I'm Hang from Vietnam. I think the culture of each country is one of the reason of being shy in class.
ReplyDeleteIn Vietnam, students only say their opinions in case they are sure that they are right and in almost of situations, they think that their opinions are wrong so they keep silent in class.
This make the teacher do not understand their teaching method is suitable or not.
As every thing around them is new: the speaking language, classmates and the teacher, so, they need more time to get used to the new environment.
ReplyDeletepersonal identity is very important
ReplyDeletebut i think culture is a big effect
went i was school,if i want a good test score, i have to writed the mean that teacher said, if i think different it not good for my test score.
personal opinion does not be highly appreciated
Hey everybody .. i am writing about shy students and i was one of them LOL
ReplyDeletei think shyness because of lack of self confidence and thinking that " what i will say will be incorrect
i skip this problem by learning how to talk in front of people without fear
I'm from VietNam and I think that's a normal things in my country, the fact that I'm a one of them, every time we join in a new class, the air is alway so strangers and people maybe will be silent or say st nonsense. I think that will be fine if not happen in the next lecture, because all ppl need a little time to adjust themself
ReplyDeleteIn all, I wanna say that this problem happen all over the wolrd
I guess at the begninning, almost all people can be shy and fell yourself intimidated with your new school, culture, teacher, place and stuff like that. But is necessary that the teacher knows how he/she can contribuite for keep a good climate and make new students fell confortable.
ReplyDeleteIf I am a new student in the class.The first time I am shy and I do not know culture of others. I do not know how to do. when I go to the class second,third,fourth,...time. I will be familiar with my friends and I am brave. I can talk and laugh with my friends
ReplyDeletehello, i think they behave like that is because they fear they will make mistake and everyone around them will laugh them so they feel shy. I think likes that because at the first time i speak english , i feel like that. :))). Sorry for my mistake gramma above
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the students are hesitant when join in your class because their mother language and culture have many differents
ReplyDeletethey feel that they can't talk to everyone easily
there are many habits in your life during living in country that need change to adapt to new environment
Well, in Vietnamese schools, rarely students are shy in classes.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this could happened with some students manly because they are autism, have mental illness, the pressure of homework and most sadly, being bullied by other classmates so hard that they rarely talk again. But overall, this is really rare in Vietnam.
Students from my country are hesitant to take a class.Actually,i'm from Asian country.In my opinion,these students are not confident to their language ability or get home sick, feel strange to new country,new people and new learning environment.So,they need adapt to those in the first time.We should be sympathetic to their situation and help them to overcome the difficulties.In my essay,there are a lot of wrongs but i always be optimistic
ReplyDeleteBefore going further, i would like to thank you for this interesting subject because, with this subject, you allow us to think about what people who are come from in other country feel, how it is difficult for them to have discussion with native people. Sometimes, it is because they have a bad accent, they don't know yet how they can pronounce that word and they decided to not talk by thinking if they don't talk, native people won't laugh them. It is why, i advise native people to encourage them to communicate thus they will feel alone and live the situation as a bad experience.
ReplyDeletei think that asian students will not be shy if they knew and made friends in the class. they is just observing every things.
ReplyDeletelet's make changes for them and wait you will see the differences
Hello every body.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I want to thank for authors of this website. I think this website is very usefull for English learner. Thanks so much!
Secondly, my opinion about question: "Are student from your country hesitant to participate in class? and if so, why?" is: Some students in my country are hesitant in class, other not. Because it base on character of each student.
Addition, different cultures is a factor make student in my country hesitant in class.
oh, this is a good way of teacher to connect students in the class!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly opinion! I think so, too. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThey maybe hesitant on the first month of meeting because they don't know each other probably they his classmates come from different countries (languages), But getting to know each other will change his/her shyness. In my part it happens to me in a first week of school but as we go along they become my friends though its hard for us to understand when some are not the same with our language.We just have to be friendly so we can understand each other.
ReplyDeleteI would say no because, I believe that they are shy, and needed more time to grow. At times I am afraid to participate in my classes But as soon as I get intimate with my classmates I am no longer shy or afraid to speak. We all need time to familiarize our self in order to break out of our shell.
ReplyDeleteI think is the same in different countries, it depends on the knowledge they have in the language and the confidence in themselves to participate. At the moment they are learning and knowing their classmates they can participate more.
ReplyDeletethe culture are diferent because this the paticipation on class is little but when understand the world one of another things change.
ReplyDeletethe culture are diferent because this the paticipation on class is little but when understand the world one of another things change.
ReplyDeleteHi! my mane is Frayli Marte. And I like this program alot because help me to improve my English and to memorize.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the students that have to learn and study en other language than no is theirs, they feel afraid or shy about theirs posible mistakes. Some students not be in quiet because they know for learn despite of they'll make mistakes. But some simplely don't talk, and they let that the fear prevent them to learn.
ReplyDeleteWell absolutely, most of student in my country are shy when they share ideas because they are not sure their answers are right or wrong; besides, they just respond to teacher's questions if they have a point.
ReplyDeletei think it happened because that students want to a good impression to the others persons for this acting of this form , there're a new experiences that they need to adapt but i think when they have more trustfulness
ReplyDeleteWell i have a feeling that some pupil hesitate to speak because of their language insecurities,say what other students think of me if i say anything wrong or made any grammatical mistake.And secondly because of their attitude or the way of living,sometimes their parents would be the reason for that,as they didnt allow their children to go out and mingle with other peoples,so they create their own world inside their room with TV and laptops as their friends.
ReplyDeleteIn Colombia, students are free of these rules, so they are more talkative, sometimes even rude. But we can not judge that, they are different cultures.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, The students meet this problem at the first time. They are not confident in themselve because they are not sure about their idea or thinking,so they really unwilling to interpret what they want to speak. Maybe, they feel shy when the classroom have many new friends. Stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteAfter my reserch, I noticed that almost all the students in my contry start the school day at 8 am, so they have to go to the school earlier; they take the plublic bus every morning to go to school; also they have a lot of subjets, such as math and grammar as well.
ReplyDeleteWell if you want to mix people from diferent countries is like experiment. Sit and Wacht what they do, try to extrapolate to their entire culture and then try to undestand historical facts, like wars, economy, fisical bodies, everything. Sounds asome.
ReplyDeleteI think for Colombian students is easy to participate in the classroom, but at the beginning could be a little embarrased cause we feel unsecure about what we know.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on character and upbringing the person. Always some people will be shy and some not.
ReplyDeleteThe life of a student is very beautiful because he stays approximately 7 hours in the classroom and learns many interesting things, makes many friends and interacts with the teachers.
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of others comments. I completely agree these ideas that Asia tend to more shy than foreign countries such as Europe, America so on. There are 2 reasons: (1) Their cultures, (2) Students seems like to fair to fail, in fact, English is taught by many themes of grammar so their relief is not sensitive. The solution is nature. The students from different countries need to long time for adapt to live unless they are shocked. Moreover, the English books should be specific, comfortable, easy to approach than focus on much academic matter and stuff like that.
ReplyDeletethe person go to school half past one p.m.
ReplyDeleteit depends ,she gets to school by bus or by tram or underground.
she study listening , vocabulary , writing and speaking exercises there.
she learns about face expression's means when use to communication
Yes, it's normal, that students are feeling panic during the first class because they don't have confidence with the other classmate. However, in a few days, they will feel more secure and they will participate more in class.
ReplyDeleteWhen teaching a second language you have to take under consideration the age, place and level of each student. Can't assume all learn the same way
ReplyDeleteIt depends of the teacher and classmates, if there is a environment of respect and to help each other, it will be more easy to learn. Besides the teacher have to be ingenious to share the subject; so the students will feel the commitment to study
ReplyDeleteI think that your tips are very importants, the new speaker We should not be shy.
ReplyDeleteI think the students need a professor that gives some interestings classes.The students need more animaation to study.A professor who gives a class that be in the mind of the student for ever,and that construct his mind.
ReplyDeletei think shyness it's depend on education in our homes not Asian only, Parents play an important role in this like don't talks with someone don't plays with this person then when you grow up you fear from anyone talk with you .
ReplyDeleteThank you for your idea.
ReplyDeleteSometime, there are some students even many students feel shy in the classes. Because they does not make sure their answers as well as their mindset. Therefore, it is important to encourage them and make them belive in their thinking.
I am looking forward to receiving feedback to my comments.
Many thanks.

Personally, I have never raised my finger in the class to participate. The only times I have raised my finger were when I wanted to go to the bathroom, and most of my classmates were like me. Only a few students who were very good at school participated. When I look back at the way my generation received their education, it really hurts me, because teachers didn't care about wether the students understood or not what they were being taught.
ReplyDeleteOrtega rios and patiño cuenca :
ReplyDeleteis a basic exercise but very good to stimulate and improve the listening of the English.
the exercise helped me to recognize my virtues and shortcomings to improve my listening of English.
the only mistake that I find in the exercise is that you can reset the results and the student could cheat because his can memorizing the answers after resetting.
ReplyDeleteIn my country the student participate when they know above the Topic of the class but when they don't know, they don't speak in the class. I hope that in a future the all student participate in the class
Yeah! Sometimes students are shy and sometimes aren't shy, it depend the families, sometimes they're scared or they think that if take a mistake the rest of students will laugh them and i think that it's the main problem in many students.
ReplyDeletewell, In my own school, I thing for our first most of semester, most of the student were shy because of the difference of cultures, background, language but especially because of the fear to make a mistake.
ReplyDeleteThe first things I would like to say thank you for your shared
ReplyDeleteEspecially the students in Cambodia are very shy and they don't know the way how to have a good communicate with other people. Some even in the class with their classmate . It's very difficult for Cambodian students.
It depends on the personality of each person,
ReplyDeleteother way, they are not confident about their communication,inside foreign language specially. I think you should have small games and simple to help them interact easily. Confident increasing of student is the best way to change your classroom.
i.when a person is faced with a new environment, he/she experiences the different feeling such as fear or shyness. these feeling related on the people approach to life. if a person want to accept by all of the people, fear of not being popular or rejection can caution him/her.n my opinion, shyness is a changeable personality character.
ReplyDeletewell in my country, Chile the childs are so participates of the lesson at class, there are a ambiente of respeto to others, and the students speak without shy
ReplyDeleteI’m an Asian student. I think most of my classmates pay high attention to teachers but are very quiet. However, they are willing to actively engage in the classroom when there is an extra bonus.
ReplyDeletewell, i think the reason why students hesitate engage in class is culture. Asian students will often be shy when they meet strangers and it is difficul for them to make a conversation with new friend especially foreign friend.

I am from Vietnam. I have been studying English for 13 years but I just use English very limmited. Those first years, our English teacher didn't encouraged us speak English. They only taught us grammar, it was so difficult and boring. And almost my friends didn't concentrate on studying English.
ReplyDeleteI am 25 years old now, and I have been studying English serious for 8 months. I did not know where I have to start. And now, I feel that my English skills are increased since I started to practicing English with the others. It is driving me more confident at my English and less shy to talk with others.
