Revitalizing Language Acquisition Journey

Abstract

This chapter presents an all-encompassing strategy for combating digital fatigue in second language acquisition (SLA). It examines digital exhaustion's symptoms, causes, and psychological effects, emphasizing the need for healthy digital practices. Excessive use of technology, such as language applications and social media, can exacerbate exhaustion and necessitate self-care and stress management. Learners should prioritize their well-being by engaging in self-reflection, relaxation, and non-language activities, including mindfulness and meditation. Instructors are essential for fostering supportive environments incorporating feedback and a development mindset. Peer participation fosters community and reduces fatigue. This comprehensive strategy engages learners, instructors, parents, and peers to ensure a successful SLA journey in the digital age, with well-being at its core.
