“MAKE NO MISTAKES.”
MunaThaher (2005) investigated the factors which lead to communication apprehension (CA) 
in the EFL classroom. The relative importance of several sources (psychological, instructional, and 
socio-cultural) has been investigated using a questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that 
most students had either fear or uneasiness about their learning experience which has hindered the 
language learning process.
Remember how we were scared to make a mistake in school because the teachers would scold 
us, cut our grades, and threaten to complain to our parents if we did? Since teachers place such a high 
value on errors, today’s school graduates are unable to communicate in English, even though they are 
proficient in grammar and possess a large vocabulary.
