The main characteristics of unsuccessful language learners

 

I would like to discuss about the main characteristics of unsuccessful language learners. Well so far I have never thought about the unsuccessful learners but this question made me to think about it. So I would to give my opinion about it.

 

The majority of items relate to successful students speaks of influence that is coming from inner factors. Assessment by unsuccessful learners depends on circumstances which are directed towards outside influence and is beyond their control. As a consequence of repeated academic failure of learning problems, learners often develop specific secondary characteristics as a low self-esteem, poor motivation for long -lasting learning, tendency to give up and withdraw and lack in interest in acquisition of new learning strategies. Besides these deficits in self-regulation many learners with learning disabilities have also other characteristics which making learning more difficult: external locus of control, hopeless behavior, low motivation, impulsivity, maladaptive attributions, and low efficacy.

 

In consideration of the most important main values it is evident that learners consider giving up, inadequately learning and laziness as the main point for their unsuccessful in studying. Surrounding they live in, their parents, imagination, dreaming and irregular attendance are the least important for them. Uncertainty at choosing the subject of studying, bad organization, fear, tension and fear, giving up, boredom, lack of interest, current mood of professors, absence of ambition, disorganization of faculty, overload with obligations, boring lectures, low self-confidence are also the factors of unsuccessful learners.

 

Other than that, simplicity also one of the reason because learners use ideas and sparse supporting details; in understanding and use of forms (e.g., personal essay, graphs and charts); and in vocabulary use. Besides that repetition is also the small set of ideas selected from texts or chosen for writing are used repeatedly narrow range of skill sets for choice of vocabulary and sentence structure syntax is often drawn from oral language. Unsuccessful learners also have concreteness where focus on specifics of tasks straight-forward purposes in reading or writing heavy reliance on personal experience for evidence.

 

So this is my only opinion about the characteristics of unsuccessful learners and their behavior towards learning. So my advice is let go of the negative attitude and grabs the positive so that we can be a successful person in our life.
