Keywords:
linguistic instruction, second languages, pedagogy, psychological aspects, multilingualism, applied linguistics.Abstract
Despite the growing importance of acquiring proficiency in foreign languages, language instruction worldwide (with limited exceptions) appears to be relatively ineffective. This manuscript seeks to delineate prevalent challenges in general language education and explore potential remedies. The initial section identifies linguistic, psychological, methodological, and external elements impacting the learning journey. The subsequent section delves into strategies to address these issues, offering practical suggestions.
