Very interesting article from Sam Gendreau, a polyglot, writer, and M.A. student in International Affairs, who writes for lingholic.com. This could be a good article to share with your students in some way, either reading it together or discussing the key points, particularly if you have students who are on the "I can't do this" mindset. As with all resources, pre-read the article to determine its appropriateness for your context. This article, which is based on research gleaned from interviews, books, and TED talks, examines the differences between a "growth mindset" and a "fixed mindset" and how this could affect language learners' perceived abilities of learning a second language.
