My PhilosophyMy approach to language learning is, in part, based on the list below. Language learners need coaches who will work with them to:
Top 10 (or so) strategies to remember when learning English as a Second Language Make learning centered, directed and controlled by you Use authentic materials and settings Read and listen slightly above your current level Be confident, motivated and invested Use language naturally Practice outside of class or work sessions. Keep in mind that you will always understand more than you can produce. Remember learning English is sometimes very individual Be patient - Language learning takes time. Take risks !!!! Mistakes help you advance your skills. Read aloud - your ear and your brain will hear and capture good English Corrective feedback (someone telling you what you are doing wrong) is important, but you must act on it to master the correct pattern. Monitoring is catching yourself doing something wrong, or right!
