Keywords:
passive learners, TBLT, gamification, scaffolding, communicative competence, anxiety, peer-cooperation, effective strategiesAbstract
There are several difficulties when teaching a foreign language to passive learners, and in order to increase engagement and enhance learning results, specific techniques are needed. The main characteristics of passive learners are examined in this article, such as their lack of motivation, hesitancy to engage, and desire for less contact. It also looks at the difficulties teachers encounter, like maintaining students’ interest, breaking down barriers to communication, and modifying teaching strategies to suit various learning preferences. The article also covers successful strategies for instructing passive learners, such as gamification, interactive exercises, and individualized learning methods. Teachers can establish a more dynamic and successful foreign language learning environment by tackling these issues and putting specific techniques into practice.
