Students begin or continue their studies for all sorts of reasons, from work-related needs to studying abroad to improving their English skills for personal accomplishment and growth. And as many reasons for students to start or continue English, so too are there an equal number of reasons to quit.
Although a good number of reasons lie beyond the control of the teacher, I also believe that the teacher has the ability to mitigate some possible excuses. Working with students to set goals, creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment, providing well-structured lessons with a clear objective, and many more keys to better language teaching all help.
