How about using the news to learn English?

Image
There are many ways to learn English, and I'm trying to tell you today how to learn English with news, which is one of the best ways I can learn. While you could only find the news in newspapers or radios in the old days, due to the technical possibilities, we can now access the news from many platforms. It helps us to learn four basic English skills: listening, writing, speaking and reading. PROPER ENGLISH The majority of journalists and newsreaders use Standard English to write and speak and express  themselves well. Their role is to provide the public with information and analyze events. LATEST INFO Modern news media is a continuous stream of real-life English conversations and fresh information! Even the word ' news' comes from the Latin word ' nova,' which means' new stuff.' Once you learn English through the news, you have the chance to find out what's happening on currently in the world and to connect with stories throu...

Desuggestopedia

Image
First of all, I would like to mention that this method is very different from other methods and innovative. The tools used and the classroom atmosphere, in particular, is very significant and I like this. What most catches my attention are the students ' new name and personality. Students will participate in classes with courage through this process.  They don't hesitate to raise a finger or answer a question because they don't reveal their true identities and can express their thoughts openly in their minds. Students have difficulty with this problem from my experiences because they are afraid to describe it. I care about it as a prospective future teacher. On the other hand, the visual communication abilities of the students are enhanced thanks to the posters prepared and the color of the classroom catches the students ' attention. Colorful stuff catches most people's attention, so it's a good way to use them to teach. Sometimes, reading an ar...

My Tandem App Experience

Image
I was searching for a leisure activity for myself last summer. Because I was so worried about sitting idle at home and I wanted to improve my English skills. I didn't think my English speaking skills were good enough, in particular, so I wanted to do some research to address this issue. First of all, without subtitles, I began watching films and tried to understand the conversations in the film. I'd say this practice strengthened my speaking abilities, but I was tired of watching movies after a while.  While searching for the app store, an app grabbed my attention. This application's name was tandem, enabling language change. For example, you chat with people with that language when you select the targeted language, and the other person learns your mother tongue. I have tried several language learning applications, but none of them have a technical and decent setting like Tandem. Every day I had the opportunity to experience different words a...

Role-playing game that enhances English: 21 Days

Image
This game discusses a person's daily life experiences and problems. Therefore I think it is a nice game to develop the ability to communicate.  Because we can see in the game that we use conversations in real life. Initially, the game includes English dialogs at the amateur level, and these dialogs are becoming increasingly complex. It makes it possible for the player to realize the appropriate level of English communication skills.  Now I want to give you a brief piece of information about the game issue. 21 Days is an adventure simulation game where the experiences of Syrian refugees can be lived. A Syrian named Muhammad Shenu, who fled from Syria to Western Europe, is the main character. For 21 days, the cash, time, hunger and mental state must be controlled by Mohammed Shenu. You will witness refugees ' lives that protect their bodies and soul. You are Mohammed Shenu after that. To  download  the  game,  follow  t...

An application that can improve the vocabulary of the teacher's class: Knoword

Image
As a future teacher candidate, I will try to teach English to my students with useful activities. But for that, I think I need to integrate technology into my classes. So I would like to introduce you to this extremely useful application. Its name is Knoword. Knoword is a tool for users to discover and broaden their language skills and spelling skills. It's a game where you type words by default. There have been three degrees of difficulties from which to choose. (Easy, moderate and hard.) Users are originally given the concept and the first letter of the phrase. Users were told to suggest a term for it. Points are earned when the term is correctly predicted. When you don't remember, you could miss the word (through the ESC or skip key), when you add another second until you hit 5 consecutively, you might see a screen with different letters indicating the next letter of your word. There is, on the other side, a portal that is beneficial for me. You might bu...

Why we choose video games to Study English

Image
                                     They're immersive: except for pictures or songs, your behavior has a crucial impact on the game. This involvement tends to help you pay special attention to the content and begin to understand this.  On the other hand, they replicate actual-life situations: almost every game is intended to be a virtual world. In other words, each game is trying to emulate the real world or makes you feel that what has been going on in the game is exactly going on with you. This means helping you exercise your capabilities in an environment that is nearer to ordinary life that makes comparable desires on you. They're toxic: Since games try to persuade you to start behaving and afterward reward or penalize you depending on your behavior, as a result, they may rapidly become addictive. Of course, these can be harmful if it escalates. But in controlled doses g...

Why should we watch movies with English subtitles?

Image
Watching English movies is one of the most useful activities that bring color to our vision of the world and also strengthens English pronunciation and English vocabulary. While watching films in English, it's essential that we chose subtitles rather than always dubbed movies so that we can enhance ourselves in real terms. We'll enjoy the benefits of watching films with English subtitles and forums in which you can watch films with English subtitles. The culture of the film is an enjoyment in itself. If you're making good progress with something you enjoy and develop your English and attach something to your English, it's no longer a monotonous training for you. You're going to do this every minute. So English subtitled films could be suggested for all. Irrespective of the subject of the film, whether it's a love story, a romantic style, a routine vocabulary or a sentence, or a more critical vocabulary like a documentary, it'll make you more intell...

Community Language Learning

Image
I think this method gives students ease and comfort. With this approach, students will address their doubts about the course or the instructor.  My favorite argument is that this approach manages to look at students as "all human," in other words, as a human being in an integrated (whole) view, since learning in humans should include the cognitive and affective dimensions of learning. That's why I like the humanistic viewpoint of this process.  Also, there are many useful advantages to this method. The instructor, who serves as a mentor, allows students to determine the type of voice. It creates a democratic class environment. This method supports low-level students who have difficulty speaking English. This establishes a warm pleasant and trusting relationship between students and teachers. This method, on the other hand, teaches students to act more freely in all respects. I endorse this method because it is a method that focuses on the advancement of st...
