LANGUAGE SKILLS: TEACHING AND LEARNING CHALLENGES

Abstract:
Teaching a language, especially as a foreign is a bit challenging for everyone
and there are some circumstances and issues that the teachers and educator should take
into consideration. Learners are motivated from time to time to learn, but sometimes they
lose their motivation. Students only learn when they are willing to learn, and they won’t
learn if they don’t have a desire to learn. Teachers should assist learners to be inspired
and to have a desire during the learning process.
Key words:
Learners, language, foreign, motivation, factors, inspiration, teachers,
students, learning process, factors, foreign language, encourage.
It is widely well-known fact that it is not always an easy path to teach a language.
First, students experience an initial burst of energy. The next step is to understand how
much they have to learn. Then comes the dreaded learning curve. If by some miracle
students make it past this milestone, they will still face ups and downs on their journey to
learning language’s proficiency.
All of this has direct implications for the language classroom and a number of
considerations need to be taken into account. First of all, we should be sure that teachers
know how to best use technological resources available in the classroom for the benefit
of their students.
Keeping students’ attention, interest, and involvement to learn every single day
can be a difficult. Particularly in formal education settings (such as primary or secondary
school), where students often have no choice about attending classes. All of this requires
a personalized lesson plan using a variety of stimuli to work with - so teachers need to be
highly organized, detail-oriented, creative and resilient (I could go on!) to be successful.
Creating lesson plans, grading papers, writing reports, and doing all the other required
student analysis is also very time-consuming. It is important for language teachers to pay
attention to language learning outcomes and ensure that this administrative work does not
take up too much of their free time.
Having overcome the learning plateau, students breathe a sigh of relief. They turn
the corner. And suddenly you see another language learning problem in the distance: the
uphill battle to reach an advanced level. At level B2, students became more independent.
They are able to understand and be understood in most situations. They can convey ideas,
present arguments, but their English lacks sophistication. This stage is critical on the path
to fluency; it’s all about sounding more natural. Students need to learn phrasal verbs, get
rid of ingrained errors and start using idiomatic expressions. The best way to help
students meet this language learning challenge is to give them more exposure to real
atmosphere of the target language. It’s time for them to leave behind the protective
blanket of the textbook and take their language beyond the classroom.
Of course, the key challenge for all teachers is to ensure that all students are on
task and working in a calm and orderly manner. However, in every language class and in

every school, there is always someone who seems determined to make life as difficult as
possible for teachers. Working with these students may require skill and experience.
Instead of being a passive recipient, students now have the opportunity and freedom to
shape their classroom rather than simply being told what to learn and when. Teachers
may be shocked by the extreme activity and severity of the proposed rules. As rule
makers, students are more likely to adhere to those rules and achieve expectations and
even help the teacher control the class since they are responsible for the rules.
Ultimately, the role of a language teacher is to help students improve their fluency
in the target language, so working with the needs of individual students can present a
wide range of challenges. Although teaching in higher education or teaching adults can
be extremely rewarding as you help them achieve their life goals, the classroom
atmosphere can often be serious and overly focused. This puts extra pressure on teachers
as they expect quality teaching lesson after lesson to earn them the grades they need.
On the other hand, teaching students in elementary school typically means more
time spent on managing behavior, more time spent on developing basic language skills,
and of course, more time spent developing engaging lesson plans and resources.
Many language teachers take advantage of the opportunity to use their skills by
traveling and visiting different parts of the world. Depending on where the teacher end
up, the school may not have all the educational technology or materials (e.g. apps,
broadband, laptops, textbooks, etc.) that teachers are used to. Understandably, this may
come as a shock and force teachers to rethink what language teaching techniques they
can use and what resources they have available. In other cases, teachers may be given
strict curricula or work patterns that they must follow, as well as resources that they must
use. If the teacher is used to being creative in developing his own materials, tailored for
each class, then this type of environment can also present its own challenges for teachers.
Another challenge teachers face is ensuring their students remain engaged and
motivated in their studies. As more and more learning takes place remotely, it becomes
increasingly difficult to prevent students from dropping out or falling behind due to lack
of motivation and engagement. Therefore, edtech tool providers are focusing heavily on
solving this problem, and gamification is one of the most popular (and successful) ways
for them to respond. Modern educational technologies often include game elements such
as rewards, puzzles, user choice, and avatars to engage students.
Last but not least issue is that Educators say a balance between warmth and clear
boundaries is key to a successful teacher-student relationship. Accepting them as your
children and loving them unconditionally, but being consistent and flexible in holding
them accountable are important factors in establishing a healthy and positive relationship.
Tips include, but are not limited to, learning their names quickly and correctly to
appreciate their uniqueness and diversity, sharing information about their work to
appreciate their progress and development, and engaging in small talk to help overcome
learning barriers. All of this should indicate your focused care and help build attitude.
Conclusion
Teaching a language as a foreign language to students of all ages is a challenging
task. Teachers should consider lots of things to get students involved in learning. To
ensure that language teaching and learning meets students’ needs, language teachers must

keep abreast of all these events and changes occurring both inside and outside class.
Keeping up with linguistic changes has always been difficult, but with social media and
network, this has become a much more serious problem given the rate at which the
language has been changing much faster lately.
