Learning a second language is a really tough work for most people. Apart from
the social constraints that the learner may encounter, in the form of lack of time
or resources, there are some others which range from physiological to
psychological. At Castelló Escola Oficial d’Idiomes, the students that begin A
levels of English are mostly people who have never had any contact with any
kind of language-learning, which is a difficulty for them, but also most of them
are over 25 years old, which makes it even more difficult for them to achieve
success. In our school we follow the guidelines of the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages and work the five skills for language reception (listening and reading) and language production (writing, spoken
production and spoken interaction). We have noticed that the most difficult
skills for our students at this level are those related with speaking: spoken
production and spoken interaction. One fact that we teachers have identified is
classroom language anxiety, which our students suffer in different degrees,
from adding some difficulty to speak to completely impeding it. Teachers
deploy a number of strategies to try to avoid or at least to reduce the impact of
language anxiety on our students, but it always depends on how successful the
teacher is with a given group of students. We have identified that there are
some causes for classroom language anxiety and we have tried to reduce as
much as possible the influence of one of the causes of language anxiety on our
students. For that we have designed a study that consists in eliminating a
negative stimulus in order to also eliminate its response: our students
experience fear to make mistakes when speaking English in the classroom and
that fear makes them be over concentrated on what they say in such a way that
they forget about pronunciation and intonation, with the result of a very poor
performance in these two aspects. The strategy studied consists in convincing
our students that what they say is correct so that they only have to pay attention
to how they say their messages. [-]
