Tongue-tied Learners: An Issue In The Foreign Language Classroom

Résumé: The oral conversation class requires participation, exchange of ideas, opinions and information among learners. Unfortunately, foreign language teachers often complain about the lack of participation and interaction among their learners. The present work tries to shed light on a crucial issue encountered in many foreign language learning classrooms; it is the lack of participation and interaction. The study, based on collected data, revealed that lexical difficulties constitute a real handicap that leads to the lack of self confidence and anxiety among foreign language learners, giving birth to psychological barriers which hinder the learners from speaking. In order to overcome those learning difficulties, the teacher has to strive for effective strategies which help learners improve their lexical ability and their oral skill.
