Are you interested in learning more about best practices for thelearning english? Have you ever come across a self-taught person in any subject? They are people whose way of being makes them very interesting and should be studied. Currently, self-taught people are known in the educational world as activists, and the methodology they use is known as activation.
This methodology is fundamentally about the language learner taking responsibility for his or her own learning; he or she can no longer blame the teacher or others for not showing progress. Activation is a fundamental part of learning a language and goes beyond simply preparing for class, reviewing readings, or studying vocabulary. It is in itself the ability to be immersed in English in daily life regardless of whether you are in an English-speaking country or not.
Active English learning: exercises and strategies
In the hyper-occupied world we live in, no one has time. Or at least that is the impression we get. But on a closer look, we may find that the lack of time is more a matter of concentration, of eliminating the distractions that consume us and living every minute with purpose. You can start by changing the language of your cell phone, changing the language of your television, watching movies in the original language, and trying to listen to and not just read subtitles; A good exercise is to watch the 4 seasons of Stranger Things - just to take an example of a series that is currently popular - in English and without subtitles.
Another important exercise is reading; statistics say that the average CEO reads 50 books a year, a very impressive goal but one that is accessible to all people. I did a quick calculation: a book has an average of 250 pages and an adult reads about 300 words per minute, this means that by reading 30 minutes a day you can read just like a CEO. You can start implementing a routine reading 5 minutes a day, the results will be obvious because one page a day is better than no pages at all. Starting with simple and achievable goals will motivate you to have continuity and accomplish what you set out to do, you have to challenge yourself to get the energy and motivation to accomplish something like this.
Get activated with podcasts
Another tool that can help you and that you can use anywhere is the podcast; this tool has boomed and is booming. You can listen to a podcast while you are working out, while you are running, or on your way to work. There are thousands of podcasts covering various topics and you are sure to find one you like, I recommend using Spotify lists, the Google Podcasts app or Itunes.
Every change takes time, and podcasts are like TV series: you have to find the one that best fits your personality. These tools are very useful because they can give you a learning purpose and make sense of that time "lost" in transportation or daily routine activities. Of course, I advise you not to overdo it: our brain needs rest to perform at its best and improve its performance.
Learn to work hard, to do everything, to do more than is required of you. Will you do what it takes to achieve your goals? It is important to set your limits in order to exceed them, but intelligently.
