Namaste! to all Sajhaties.I'm doing a survey on "Why do most of the International Students hesitate to communicate in the class or participate less in class activities??? Is it because of a communication barrier??? And what are the other factors you people think that may force students to remain wordless in the class??

Please...Give your opinion...Its just a survey..

I do not speak much even with my close friends because I feel that I dont know how to talk to people(i'm honest here), let alone in the classes.

The subject I am taking doesnt require discussions in the class. So, its a easy way out for '^'

Even if I have questions, we have a separate forum, something like 'sajha', for almost every subject I am taking. So, no need for direct contact.

If its personal matter, I email.

I want to change, but how?

And also,
I do not feel comfortable with my knowledge of spoken english.

u know,,,,,,,, being seriously ,,,,,,,let me wrt down the points .....
1. the very big first reason is certainley a communication problem. i have seen many times and experience myself., that when you try to involve in a conversation in calss , there is alwys a gap inbetween you n ur partner, can be teacher or any other calss mates.... either they mislead the informations or they mislead the word,.

2. discriminating nature of few white people in calss plus the teacher himself , might be the second one.

3. Psycho....we all grew in a school where conversation or arguments hardly take place in classes.if u speak or argue , there is all chances that u will be asked to leave class or forced to keep the mouth shut..so , never used to this kind of teaching enviroments.

4. Another one may be the way nepalis work here. they work almost 60 hours, n among them many in the nts and classes in the moring. in fact talking about this , i had many frds who used to sleep or atleast called a very short nap.

5. as someone said above i think, not sure...the class , not of ur type .. the department u not interseted ,, u r taking becoz u have to.

6. another we most of have a habit of taking the calss with frds. so whenever ur alone in any of the calss, it is more likely that u r quite, sitting at the corner


sorry !!! got to g more on next one

अपराधीजी,
Why do most of the International Students hesitate to communicate in the class or participate less in class activities?
यसको उत्तर त धेरै छन्। त्यस्तो किसिमको सँस्कारको कमि, डर, inferiority complex, तरिका नमिल्ने, छिटो अंग्रेजी बोल्न नसकेर आदि आदि। श्री ३ ले भनेको जस्तै अरु कुराहरु पनि।
मेरो अनुभवको आधारमा भन्नु हुन्छ भने, तिनीहरुले क्लासमा राम्रो सँग कुरा गरेको देखेर डाह अवश्य लाग्छ सबभन्दा पहिलो कुरा यी खैरेहरुको धेरैवास्ता गर्न छाड्नुहोस। तर यसबाट आफसे आफ यिनीहरु तपाइँप्रति आकर्षित हुन्छन् र कुरा गर्न आउँछन्। र त्यसबेला नम्र भएर, हावा गफ दिएर आदि जे गरेर भएपनि तिनीहरुलाई प्रभाव पार्नुहोस्, धेरै नबोल्नोस् गल्ती हुन सक्छ। तर मेरो बिचारमा accent चाहिं नेपालीनै राख्नुस् त्यसले तपाइलाई first generation wanna-be americans हुनको खराब impression बाट जोगाउँछ, र एउटा फरक ब्यक्तित्वको छवि पार्न सकिन्छ। तर यिनीहरुको अगाडि सबभन्दा ठुलो कुरा, attitude चाहिं नभै हुँदैन।
communication राख्नुस तर बिध्यार्थी भन्दा प्रोफेसरसँग बढि राख्नुस।

But remember one thing; they want to keep you mum as much as they can. So take it as you must have something challenging to say and that’s why they want you to shut up. It will make you competitive and arouse you from inside to speak up.
