External factors are one of the most problematic areas while studying or teaching a foreign
language. Most spread issues are the lack of language environment, losing motivation for studies
and lack of time to concentrate on a language. Those widespread causes slow down the progress
while learning a language. Most, if not all, universities do not offer speaking rooms or speaking
sections for students in order to get into language environment. Students do not get a chance to
practice their speaking skills with native speakers, which hampers the process of learning. Lack of
motivation is one of the most widespread reasons where students seems to lose the productivity to
study. It usually
occurs due to lack of progress, no enjoyment of learning process, pushing from
teacher’s or parents’ sides and losing interest for the language. Majority of students, besides the
ones who study humanities, face with lack of time when they choose to learn a language as their
second one in university. Students get too load up
with work from other classes, that they do not
have enough time to focus on their progress of language.

years in the future. Development of textbooks for professional and industry needs in accordance
