10 REFLECTION QUESTIONS TO GAIN CONFIDENCE IN ENGLISH
Confidence is the key to communicating effectively in English and feeling comfortable and relaxed with the abilities you currently have.
You could have a limited vocabulary and understanding of grammar, but when you present yourself as confident, people will listen and want to understand you.
Speaking in English often makes people feel vulnerable and nervous. These sensations are then interpreted by the brain as
fear, which activates our amygdala, the part of the brain associated with survival in dangerous situations.The result is that our clear, calm thinking part of the brain (the prefrontal cortex) cannot function optimally and we make more mistakes and can’t find the words that we need.
