| stripping away of language competence | лишение языковой компетентности (Alexander Guiora, whose research focuses on personality factors in second language acquisition, holds that "...second language learning in all of its aspects demands that the individual, to a certain extent, take on a new identity". Since an individual's identity is developed within a context of communication and interaction – for example, with family members and peers – and since language plays a salient role in interpersonal relations, language becomes central to the sense of self. Changing that basic sense of who you are can be difficult, to say the least, particularly where the individual's sense of self-efficacy or confidence in her or his key abilities is challenged in the process. Competence in communicating with others is just such a key ability central to the individual's self esteem. Facing that stripping away of language competence which occurs when we try to communicate in a second language requires tremendous ego strength, an ability to retain a sense of self esteem even when exposing and exploring an area of real weakness. For these reasons, bolstering the student's sense of self-esteem is the key to working with new learners of a foreign language. Alex_Odeychuk) |
