Improving The Motivation for Learning English
Today, I am going to talk about improving the motivation for learning English, the language that we study now. Have you ever feel bored when you learn English? That can influences all aspects of our learning processes. Late is better than nothing. That sentence always make me motivated when I read. What action should be taken to improve our motivation in learning English?
Now, I will share to you about what ways we can do to boost our motivation in learning English as a foreign language.
First action is imagine yourself.Imagine you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your first language. Imagine other people wanting to speak English as well as you do. Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world. And imagine you can be a good English teacher in a school. Your imagination is good as your internal motivation. You should know that it is possible to learn English really well. Just look at other people who have done it.
Second action is remember that you are already good. You already know some English (like listen, read, and speak English right now) That’s a big success! Now it’s time for more successes. Time to start using powerful methods of effective learning. Time to gain an impressive knowledge of English.
Third action, remember that there is a lot you do not know.You are good, but your English probably isn’t perfect. You probably can’t understand English-language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write essays without mistakes, etc. You should never think your English is perfect. Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. And try to make corrections of your mistakes to avoid from bad habits.
Fourth action, use your English whenever you can.This is very, very important. The more you use English, the more you will want to learn it.
Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can use Google to find English-language websites with interesting information, you can watch American movies, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English.If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English.So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more… If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.
And the last action, remember that learning English requires action. One small action is more powerful than reading hundreds of articles. Yes, we know it is very hard to do things, even if they are good for us. We humans are lazy creatures. That is why not many people speak English well. Not only read about with but also do the best in our learning process.
We, as the foreign language learners, need to do the best in our English learning method. The external motivation is not enough unless you have a good internal motivation in you study. Do not satisfy with the knowledge that you have already got, but keep study and study. You will be successful only if you change something about your life. Don’t put it off. Begin now.
thanks for your attention.
