“How to Learn English Effectively and Efficiently”

0 comments



All of people know that English is international language, that’s why knowing and studying English is very important in this era. And many people say that studying English is very difficult.
Let’s have a look to the following proverb:
“PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT”
I think the key to learn English effectively and efficiently is Practice, Practice and Practice. But the Question is: How improve our four language skill? “Practice listening, practice speaking, and practice reading and practice writing?” Okay, I would like to try to give you a short description about it.
            Well, originally… when we still a baby, we starts studying a language by listen a sound, then we tries to imitate to speak, and then just read, finally the we tries to write whatever the we wants. It’s still a symbol. That is the baby way of learning language. Bu, we are a student, we are a student in a collage, we are different with the babies. We have partners, lecturer, English reference books, dictionaries, CD’s, cassettes tape recorder, computer, or maybe we have internets, English laboratories,, English native speaker etc. those are the facilities to support us to learn English effectively and efficiently. But, the underline is “it is depends on us”
Well my friend let us talking more how to learn about four language skill.

First is Listening. To explore our ability in listening skill is by practice listening. We can listening to the cassette recorders. It can be about alphabets, words, sentences, passages, stories or song. We can practice our pronunciations, intonation and understanding about content of passages, stories, or songs from listening activity.

Second is practice speaking. I think the key to improve our speaking skill is “don’t be shy or afraid to make mistake” when we practice speaking. We can practice speaking whenever and wherever by our self. We must be brave to speak English with our partner and if we don’t have partner we can speak in front of mirror. We also can practice speaking by giving a comment about anything what we see, what we feel. So try to speak up. For the example: when you feel happy or sad try express it in English.

Then Reading skill. The question is “what should we do to improve our reading skill???”
I think reading is enjoyable. For reading skill needs to read the passage or story loudly, and our partner can checks our pronunciation and intonation. For the material we can read a passage, story, novel, newspaper or magazine. in reading comprehension we need to understand the content of the material which we read and the writer purpose so if we have difficulties to understanding the content we can put underline in difficult word to help you to understand. Remember again that dictionary is our best friend.

The last is writing skill. I think the most difficult one is practice writing. But, nothing difficult if we always trying, trying and trying, practice, practice and practice. So to improve our writing skill we can write a personal letter to our pen palls than we also can write a description of picture or what we see, what we listen and what we feel.

Well my friends we can master the four language skill enough vocabularies. We can improve our vocabulary by memorizing, using card or writing down on the piece of paper than put it on where we often can see it. For the examples: in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom and so on.
Well my friends “nothing difficult” and there are many ways to learn English effectively and efficiently. There are many ways to learn English effectively and efficiently and it’s depends on us.
