       problemsfacingforeignstudents

  TodayI'dliketotalkaboutsomeoftheproblemsthatstudentsfacewhentheyfollowacourceofstudythroughthemediumofEnglish--ifEnglishisnottheirmothertongue.

Theproblemscanbedividedintothreebroadcategories:

psychological,culturalandlinguistic.ThefirsttwocategoriesmainlyaffectthosewhocometostudyinBritainfromAsiaandAfrica.I'llcometocommentonlybriefyonthesetwocategoriesandthenspendmostofthetimelookingatlinguisticdifficultieswhichapplytoeveryone.someofthecommonpsychologicalproblemsreallyinvolvefearofunknown:

Thelargestcategoryseemstobelinguistic.let'slookatthisinsomedetails.Moststudents,intheirowncountries,willhavelittleopportunitytopractiseusingEnglish.WhereforeignlearnersfirsthavetheopportunitytospeaktoanEnglish-speakingpersonthenmayhaveashock"theyoftenhavegreatdifficultyinunderstanding!

I'lljustmentionthreeofthepossiblereasonsforthis.

  Whatcanastudentdothentoovercomethesedifficulties?
