What causes a lack of confidence in speaking English?

There are a multitude of factors that contribute to a lack of confidence in speaking the English language well or any language for that matter. Some English learners feel self-conscious when their accent doesn't match what they perceive as the standard or desired accent.

Additionally, a lack of practice opportunities or speaking practice, especially in a supportive and constructive environment, can hinder students from becoming comfortable and fluent speakers. Understanding these challenges is the first step in overcoming them, allowing educators to tailor their teaching strategies to address these specific concerns and build a more inclusive and encouraging learning atmosphere.

    Tailoring language learning for diverse needs with the GSE

    Why inclusive language teaching matters more than ever

    Youve probably heard the word inclusive more and more in recent years, though I first encountered it over 20 years ago. (I say 20 because thats when I graduated, and we had a course on diverse learners called individual differences. But back then, actually meeting their needs wasnt nearly as comprehensive as it is today.)

    Today, learners come with a wide range of proficiency levels, cognitive styles, educational background, and personal goals. Thats why its essential. In simple terms, inclusive teaching means making sure all learners feel they belong and can succeed.

    It calls for differentiated instruction, flexible assessment and learning materials that respect individual needs. Thats where the Global Scale of English (GSE) comes in.

    It's normal to get lost during your trip, but don't worry. Most English-speaking countries will have tourist centers near popular destinations with trained staff who can help you with any questions.

    If you cant find a tourist center quickly enough, approach a friendly-looking person (students with backpacks are a pretty safe bet) and use the skills that youve already learned about approaching new people. You can include additional questions like Im lost, could you help me? or Do you know where I can find _________? to let them know that you need their help. Its also not uncommon for strangers to come up to you, especially when youre carrying a map and look lost, to ask if you need help finding your way.
