CONSEQUENCE, DISCOURAGED, GRADED, IMPACT, PUNISHED, STRICT, USEFUL |
School systems around the world compel teachers to evaluate their students. A foreign language is one of the school subjects where we have all been
graded
on our language skills. It's true teachers are not so
strict
anymore but they still deal with their students’ mistakes in a more or less corrective way. Foreign languages are seen as subjects where students are constantly judged and corrected rather than a
useful
tool to bridge a communication gap between people of different nationalities and to better understand the world in which we live. This can have a negative
impact
on their accomplishments and willingness to build on their language skills.
As a
consequence,
students are afraid of speaking or they limit their speaking to a small and limited set of words and phrases. Thus, they don't learn from their mistakes and get
discouraged
to speak at all.
