The Impact of Stuttering on oral Performance in Learning Foreign Language C

Abstract

This study aims to provide learners of a foreign language who suffer from stuttering with some useful procedures and coping techniques. First, we gathered information from different sources about the causes and effects of stuttering, as well as the problems that learners who stutter may face. Second, we highlighted the purpose of oral performance in the class, and we studied some activities that might help learners who stutter to engage. In the classroom context, we highlighted the effective and significant role of the teacher. Besides, we pointed out the effects of these activities on learners who stutter, along with the strategies used by teachers that help stutterers in the classroom. Third, we analysed the data collected from the questionnaire and the interview conducted with the teachers. Both data collection tools contributed to providing important information about the various problems experienced by learners who stutter and about techniques that help them to participate in the activities of the class. Finally, some interactive recommendations are proposed to reduce or even solve the problems affecting learners’ engaging; especially in oral performance
