| Résumé : |
Reticence is a common phenomenon that is in prominent position in foreign language classrooms and which hampers students‟ oral participation. Awareness of sources of silence on the part of the instructors may decrease misinterpretations regarding students‟ level of engagement in language classrooms. The present study investigates the factors that lead students to experience reticence in the EFL classrooms: psychological, linguistic, teachers‟ feedback, and classroom atmosphere. It also explores the underlying ways and activities which help students to overcome their lack of participation. Through this study we hypothesize that there are different factors such as linguistic factors (lack of vocabulary, poor pronunciation, poor grammar), psychological factors (shyness, self-esteem, anxiety, lack of self-confidence, fear of making mistakes), and other factors related to teachers‟ feedback and classroom atmosphere which hamper first year students‟ participation in Oral Expression sessions. Learners would overcome their reticence and passivity when teachers help them to manage these factors. To reach the aim of this study, two main questionnaires are administered. One questionnaire is given to teachers of Oral Expression at the Department of Letters and English University “Des Frère Mentouri”, Constantine. The other questionnaire is directed to first year students at the same department. The analysis and the discussion of the obtained data reveal that there are some factors that affect students‟ participation, mainly students‟ poor grammar, lack of vocabulary, lack of self-confidence, shyness and fear of making mistakes, as well as factors related to teachers‟ feedback and the atmosphere of the Oral Expression classrooms. Moreover, it has been revealed that both teachers and students play an important role in managing students‟ reticence in the speaking class. Therefore, our hypothesis has been confirmed |
