A Study of Avoidance Phenomenon in College Oral English Course for Non-English Majors

Song Yike* and Wang Lin

Abstract—In the process of second language acquisition, the learners often deal with language difficulties negatively when they have trouble with target language, that is, by avoiding obstacles to promote the smooth progress of communication. Thus, avoidance phenomenon appears and runs through the entire process of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). However, although the avoidance is essentially a kind of communication strategies, excessively inclined to take it will also lead to stagnation of learner’s foreign language proficiency, which is also an important reason for the formation of fossilization. Based on the relevant theoretical results of scholars at home and abroad, this paper is designed to analyze avoidance behaviors of non-English-major freshmen in oral English class, and discuss the coping strategies for this phenomenon. In addition, some suggestions will be also put forward for shaping a dynamic classroom atmosphere that can effectively improve students’ oral English level.
