INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, Language English is very important in our country, not just because we are neighbors of the
Great Power in the World, which is The United States, also because we share thousands of miles of
Border. As border we are, specifically in Reynosa increasingly see the need to be bilingual, and obviously,
As students of Industrial Engineering, more learning this need arises, by the establishment of Industries of
U.S origin and others where we need to speak English.
THE BODY
Currently, what mainly drives the domain of language, is the competition that we face with a high index of
Students who have completed their career in Industrial Engineering, students who wish to occupy a good position
in a company once they finished the College. We know that today, it is required to be bilingual in order to achieve
it. Now the question arises: Why do students fail the English subject? Good question. Both difficult and easy to
answer.
If we focus primarily on Mexican students, we definitely can find a lot of points. First, in the majority of population
in Mexico, we have not inculcated a “Study culture” In general, no custom to spend some quality time in the day
to review what was learned in class. This is where we face our first weakness or disadvantage.
Secondly, we are often inclined to think Language English is difficult and believe that we will never have the ability
to master a second language. Ironically, we limit ourselves to prove that we have such capacity.
Another reason is that perhaps we don´t have the habit of reading in English, to watch T.V , movies, listen music,
knowing its meaning through the use of subtitles in English and Spanish, try to speak and practice it and the use of
dictionary whenever questions arise.
As my last reason, In my opinion the most affecting and limiting to learn, is the fear of being judged by speaking,
because there is always the fear of being criticized by others for not having a good pronunciation and be liable to
be butt of jokes.
We must be aware that to know a few words, verbs and sentences it´s not enough to think that “We speak
English”. To really master it you need to make it part of our daily lives, by applying at least one of the
aforementioned methods and practices. In that way, we can gradually become familiar with the language and so,
“unconsciously”, learn it, as happened with the Spanish.
I would like to add this, that if we really want to understand and master English we care and strive to know
American culture to even have the ability to think like a native does.
Personally, as a key point, I think we should take away the paradigm that the English language is difficult, and
specially, the fear of being judged by speaking.
In the Introduction, I said that is difficult but easy to answer the question Why do the students fail the English
subject?
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I can finish with following:
Well, It´s difficult because is a task that through educational teaching of English matter in Mexico, at all levels, from
elementary school, high school and college has been difficult , since precisely been questioned and affected
teachers , even the students, who have tried to teach and learn the subject respectively, unfortunately as result is
the current situation in our country.
It´s easy because doing a brief analysis, we can determinate the most common causes that limit learning the
language and that is where we realize that play an important role Teacher-Student Relationship.
Why do I say this? Because if the teacher knows “weaknesses” of their students, should try to start there, let them
know and attack, creating an atmosphere of trust.
And of course, we cannot put aside the attitude of the student front of the studio, who always strive addition, you
must be psyched that is fully capable of learning and mastering the language if desired.
If classrooms in Mexico have “teams” formed with this kind of “members”, I have the assurance that we will
all be relaxed in our English classes, but specially, to travel freely to the United States without the need to hide our
heads or turn our heads when we speak with a native American.
