Students who fail to concentrate long eough on tasks face a number of problems. They may be labeled as lazy, unmotivated, hyperactive, etc. and tey confront countles challanges. In other words, attention may lead to varying problems in and outside classroom. It is worth noting that most students may keep their attention long enough for other areas, such as video games or sports. From the teachers' point of view the situatin i snot less challengign then theri students'. It is critical for teachers to provide a peaceful atmosphere for all students present and identify potential problems and deal with them.

It mainly seeks to investigate issues related to attention span and to offer some practical suggestions to be followed in language classrooms.
