Case: Too nervous to work
I have a student who get very nervous while working on his assignments. He starts day dreaming and when told to concentrate and do his work he fumbles with his pencil and second guesses himself often. I feel like he is afraid to be wrong and gets nervous because of it. How can I help him relax and trust himself?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student most likely gets extremely nervous because he has a high affective filter. It is extremely important that the classroom is a comfortable environment and mistakes are normal and okay. Perhaps have him work with another student who speaks the same language as him, assuming that he is an ESOL student, and see if this helps him be more comfortable when he is working. |

Comments: It is extremely important that classrooms are comfortable to all students to ensure that they learn to the best of their abilities. Reassuring him that everyone makes mistakes and that is how we learn would help him understand. I like the idea of partnering him up with another student that speaks the same language as him because (assuming the partner is patient and kind) feedback could be beneficial for him and working one-on-one could help calm the student down. |

Comments: Allowing the student to know that they're not alone with learning a new language, can encourage the student to feel comfortable. You don't want to keep going to her every day, telling her that everything is okay... This would probably cause more anxiety in the student. |

Comments: This is a good solution and I would do this. Sometimes classmates can make a student less anxious and could encourage them to open up. I like how you mentioned the affective filter, this is a great term to use. |
