Slide 3 question 2 – article background
The article examines reticence in ESL classrooms through analyzing filmed classroom data, focus groups, and student interviews. The research found that reticence is caused by fear of making mistakes and embarrassment from error correction in front of peers. Strategies like increasing wait time for responses, emphasizing group work, and providing a fun learning environment can help overcome student reticence and engage reluctant speakers.
