WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT CAUSE INHIBITION IN SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING Perfectionism.

Low self-concept.

Anxiety.

Competition(learners perceive others to be critical, even judging their very person when they make a mistake in a second language)

I did nothing

HOW TO OVERCOME IT?

It has been suggested that inhibition discourages risk-taking, which is necessary for progress in language learning.

Inhibition is often considered to be a particular problem for adolescents, who are more self-conscious than younger learners.

Inhibition is a negative force, at least for second language pronunciation performance.

Be aware that inhibition may have more influence in language performance than in language learning.

SUMMARY…

Risk Taking
