Uma análise da rejeição para a aprendizagem de língua inglesa

Abstract

Learning a second language, more specifically the English language, is essential, not only for professional improvement, but also for personal improvement. The motivations for learning are numerous and can be perceived in the possibility of getting to know new cultures and people or even in training for the job market. Motivation to learn, emotional stimulation and personal investment in learning an additional language can be essential factors in making learning possible. At the same time, motivating students and keeping them motivated is a challenge for teachers. This exploratory study aims to understand how rejection occurs in English language learning. A narrative research was conducted using a survey of open and closed questions for Interdisciplinary Degree in Science and Technology at Unipampa in Itaqui, and to Distance Learning students on Language and Literature at Unipampa in Jaguarão. From the answers given by the participants in this study, it was noted that some feelings, such as emotion, along with a lack of motivation, ended up having an impact on their rejection of learning English. This study shows that, in order to promote greater interest in studying this language, it is important to carry out activities that encourage students to motivate themselves and enhance the potential of the English language.
