Walker (1973) lists the opinions of university students about language teaching. Although obtained from a sample of university students, the results appear to be typical of second-language students in general. The following is a summary of what the students want. First, they want opportunities to use the language in situations of interest to them. They do not believe that the goal of the course should be learning grammar. Second, they do not want to be corrected for every minor grammatical error. They feel that constant correction causes them to lose confidence and to be unable to keep their minds on what they are trying to say. Third, they want teachers to use the second language more in class and to cover less material. Fourth, they want to study with teachers who are interested in them as individuals, who are trying to help students learn and enjoy second-language study, who are well prepared, and who are trying to teach a living language. They do not want teachers who treat students with contempt. Fifth, they want more study of culture.
