Teach English in Liangshuijing Zhen - Huaihua Shi

In Vietnam, it is so important and popular that English becomes a compulsory subject for students at schools and universities. Working people also need to learn English for their job, to talk to English speakers or get a new well-paid job. During my studies and process of teaching I noticed that learners are facing some problems such as : - Pronunciation is the first obstacle because the same has different sounds. Generally verbs and nouns are pronouned differently although they are written the same. There are too many students in every class and the schools don’t have standard classrooms for laguage classes. The students mostly study read and grammatical rules. They don’t have lots of chances to practice speaking and listening skills, so they are horrified about making mistakes when talk to the other. - Secondly, learning English requires patience, while some learners aren’t patient enough. - In addition, lack of knowledge about different topics makes students have difficulty in learning English. In order to solve pronunciation problems, students should carefully study the I.P.A alphabet which helps them pronounce English words correctly. For each text, learners need to know how to pronounce and understand new words, phrases or structures , which will motivate and engage them in the text. Then they try to listen to and imitate the text as much as possible. The teacher also play an important role in helping students to improve their confidence about speaking English by choosing a variety of materials that motivates the students or create few learning situations in which they can achieve some successes early on in the course. Learning English is a long life process so each learner must develop good habit of study hard. Learning English is not just limited in memorizing vocabulary and grammar, but it is also a process of training and improving listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill. Learners should focus on these four elements, because each skill will have the necessary content to complement the other three. We improve our speaking skill if we can listen to and understand what people say; and if we can master our vocabulary and grammar, we can write and read easily. Apart from spending the time to practice, we also need to be creative in learning English. Textbooks at schools and English-teaching centers are just basic steps, so we need to be proactive in finding more resources. There are a lot of movies, music and books written in English nowadays, and we can learn a lot from them. If we are flexible English can become a harmonious combination of researching and entertainment . Besides stressful studying hours, we can still learn English even when we are entertaining. Learners can turn their hobbies such as reading, watching movies or listening to music into a powerful assistant in learning this language. While watching English movies, we can also listen to what the actors and actresses say in order to get familiar with the Western accent also as the way they use the sentence structure in a particular context. Next, we can learn more vocabulary and have a thorough understanding of grammar by reading English lyrics and books. On weekends, instead of playing games or hanging out with friends, we can spend some of our spare time to join the English clubs. These clubs provide an open English-communicating environment, enabling us to communicate confidently and recognize our mistakes. This can help us to be more interested in learning English, and talking to native speakers can encourage us to learn more about this language. In general, English is not too difficult for us to learn; however, we should know how to learn it properly and practice it regularly in order to make the best use of it.
