Obstacles students face in EFL classrooms: The context of university students


Author(s): Tasnim Jahan

Abstract: Foreign languages teaching at the university level faces both longstanding and emerging challenges, as students are increasingly motivated to complete their syllabus quickly to gain financial or career advantages [1]. Many university undergraduates who study English as a second language struggle to communicate and use the language in their post-graduate work. In order to improve language acquisition, this study intends to determine the primary challenges faced by EFL students in the classroom, investigate their origins in connection to university characteristics, and suggest workable remedies. In order to comprehend the needs and difficulties faced by students in EFL classrooms, this study article looks at the problems from the viewpoints of the students. The study found that students' fear of making a mistake, their lack of confidence, their limited vocabulary, and the size of the class are prevalent obstacles in EFL classrooms. Finally, the constraints of the study and the consequences of these findings for educators and learners have been discussed.
