Abstract

A large amount of effective classroom interaction is a necessary condition for students to master a foreign language well. But in China, classroom reticence is a ubiquitous phenomenon which prohibits students’ effective communication, especially in universities specialized in science and engineering. Through questionnaires and interviews, it is found that low self-efficacy, low self-esteem and fear of negative evaluation are the main reasons for the reticence of non-English majors. Meanwhile, according to the results, this research puts forward specific improvement strategies for students and teachers respectively.
