LEARNING A LANGUAGE FASTLY IN PRESENT SCENARIO
Each language is
structured differently, and the different structures offer users different
suggestions to meaning. so when we learn our first language, our brain / mind
‘tunes into’ the way the particular L1 works, and we learn to pay attention to particular
cues to meaning that are most helpful. When we meet a new language, our brain /
mind automatically tries to apply the first language experience by looking for familiar
cues.
Part of learning a foreign language is developing new understandings about
the particular cues to meaning that the new language offers, and that differ
from those of our first language. The transferability of knowledge, skills and
strategies across languages depends closely on how the two written languages
work.
There are millions of
people around the world that are learning to speak English. One of the most
common question “How do I learn English
faster?” This article will provide some advice about how you can do just that.
The key to learning
anything, not just language, is the amount of practice you put in. The theory
is quite simple, the more you practice the quicker you will learn. But in a
real world situation, this theory isn’t always practical. Try to set yourself a
target that you can stick to. Don’t say to yourself, “OK, I need to practice
English, so I will study it for 8 hours a day!” because the chances are that
you won’t. Most people are too busy with their normal daily lives to practice
this much, but you will benefit from practicing every day, even if it is just
for a short time every day.
If you only practice
for 10 minutes a day, you will notice an improvement in just a short time.
Regular practice, even if just a short time is much better than irregular
practice. This is because English will always stay fresh in your mind and
you’ll be able to remember things much easier. Below are some ideas on how to
practice.
Surround Ourselves with the Language
Immerse yourself in
the English language. This way, you’ll be studying English without even knowing
and you’ll be practicing all the time.
Practice your
listening skills by watching English speaking TV or listening to English
speaking radio shows. Most countries broadcast at least one English speaking TV
channel, so watch the news, or watch a movie or even listen to music in
English. Download a favorite English podcast and listen to it while on the go.
If you do this for only 10 minutes a day every day you’ll soon notice your
listening skills improve very quickly.
Practice Speaking
You can practice you
speaking skills too! If your friends are learning English then make an effort
to speak to them in English. When you meet, set a rule that you must speak
English as much as possible. If you don’t have any friends that learn English,
then speak it to yourself to practice your pronunciation or get online and meet
people and chat with them on the internet. Again, just a few minutes a day will
really help improve your speaking skills.
Practice Reading
You can easily
practice your reading skills. Go on the internet and search for things you are
interested in. It’s always more fun to read something that you like to read.
Alternatively, try buying an English language newspaper and read the news in
English instead of your mother tongue!
Practice Writing
Finally, you can
practice your writing skills by keeping a journal or diary. Write about things
that you did that day, your thoughts and your plans for the next day. You don’t
need to write a lot; just spend a few minutes writing in your journal and make
sure that you do it every day.
As you can see, the
more you practice the quicker you will learn the language. You don’t have to be
doing your homework, or reading your course book to practice, there are many
ways that you do this. Be creative and try to surround yourself in English
language as much as possible and you’ll be learning english quicker than ever before!
ROLE OF A TEACHER
As teaching is the
end of all learning. A teacher’s primary role is not only to enable the
students to understand what he is intending to say or teach. It is also the
duty of the teacher to understand what the student wants and says.
In teaching-learning
process, two things play the vital roles; one is the delivering capacity of the
teacher and the other one is the receiving capacity of the students. Without
the two aspects, the teaching-learning process will not be a successful one.
Teaching-learning
process is just like making sound by clapping. Without two hands we cannot
clap. Like that without a right teacher and the students, the teaching learning
process is meaningless. Teaching should be a worthy of learning a concept deeply
and broadly. Teaching should facilitate the students to face the world which is
full of political, social, international as well as personal controversies,
without fear. It should give self-confidence to the students. By the effective
teaching, the students should be enabled to go for right choices, judgments and
also decisions individually In the process of teaching-learning, the teacher
should try to understand the students first. Then only, he can enable the
students to understand him or his teaching. Theory with practice on some of the
teaching topics may enable the students to understand the concept easily.
Success of a teacher in his/her attempt in enabling the students to understand
what is the concept taught by the teacher, depends on the methods he/she
applies.
The teacher may be a
good, but the students’ physical problem may lead him to ignore the teaching.
Or sometimes, the background of family of the students may drive him to be
dull. Hence, the teacher should take into account everything
At the school level,
the teaching-learning process is checked up the teacher by repeated class tests
and examinations. Based on the result (marks scored by the students), different
methods are adopted to improve teaching in case of negative result.
At the college levels
also the same traditional method of
examinations are
used. The only difference is the volume of syllabus prescribed for the colleges
students will be more than that of the school level.
As Carl Rogers said,
the teacher should first forget that she/he is a teacher. Instead, she/he must
possess the skills of a facilitator of learning-genuineness, prizing and empathy.
