ENGLISH LEARNING OBSESSION by Linda Correli
English remains a dominant and universal
language, which presently serves as a connection-link between great varieties
of different nations. Now English is spoken mainly in every corner of the
world. It is very convenient in terms of facilitating contacts between people
from different countries.
The British council put the figure of 750
million English language speakers. The only fact that the percentage of papers
published in English has gone from 65% to 85% in the last 25 years is
self-explanatory and only confirms the prevalence of English in all spheres of
life. The importance of English skills has been exaggerated to the extent that
it overweighs practically everything in assessing person’s competency.
Irrespective of controversial information that English dominance will
be replaced by Chinese, Arabic or Hindi languages by 2050, which was introduced
by a linguist and methodologist David Graddol, a quantity of English language
learners, is increasing by leaps and bounds.
It is quite reasonable
that everybody in the world should be given an opportunity to learn English in
order to be able to communicate effectively at the global level. Though, this
by no means always the case that English learning comes easily to people. Many
English learners struggle with English to no purpose for years and cannot
master it, whatever efforts they exert.
The point is that some people
have inherited linguistic abilities, so called a feeling for languages and a
way out for others is to learn how to learn English effectively. Most of us can
succeed by dint of our diligence and perseverance. Undoubtedly, every person
can become a successful English learner. The main thing is to sort out and
develop a set of successful language learning techniques, which, indeed, vary
from one learner to another.
T#1 Have curiosity to learn
English and cognate something new, opening unexplored horizons of knowledge.
Curiosity is a driving force, which will push you up in English learning. You
can be inquisitive about language, culture, traditions, or even people who
inhabit this country. You should always try to find a force, which will make
you tick and help you advance with rapid strides. Someone calls it motivation;
others name it an eager desire to learn. No matter how it is called, the main
thing is that it brings lasting and positive results.
T#2 Treat
realistically a combination of your goal, your potential and your time.
Remember that English learning is impossible to limit within some frameworks.
Because language learning has a beginning, but it does not have an exact
ending, as English learning prolongs in the whole course of your life.
And if you are a beginner you definitely need some time to adapt to the
process of language learning and get used to its peculiarities. You have to be
realistic about your potential and don’t speed up learning if you see that
there are some delays in your progress. Move to your goal on your own pace.
Don’t skip over the blocks of material, just to attain your goal as
quickly as possible. Be consistent with your English learning, go on to
speaking and listening, when you feel that you’ve mastered reading and
writing.
T#3 Develop your learning style and get to know more
about English learning. Be sure to elaborate your own kit of strategies and
learning methods, which are especially effective in your studying. In the
course of English learning, you will develop your own study habits, which will
comprise the most efficient methods for you. Bear in mind that you have to
listen to your inner voice, which prompts you what method is more beneficial.
Analyze how you remember the words better, how grammar structure in your brain
clearer, how you perceive foreign speech easier. Some people remember the words
better visualizing them, others recognize better by cramming and learning by
heart.
Get to know about language learning more. Read books of
prominent linguists, which share their experience with language learners and
try to harness some of offered learning methods. It will surely boost the
results of your learning and make you versed in language learning.
T#4 Enjoy the process of English learning. Many English learners
treat the process of learning English as a duty. Primarily they are excited
about the idea of speaking English fluently, thus when they engage in the
process of learning they do it reluctantly and do not care about learning
itself. If you love the process of learning and get pleasure out of it, you are
surely reach better results faster. Love English and it will love you back.
Become a part of this mass obsession to learn English and be sure to
interact with the whole world easily and understand people better!
