Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don't do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies.
• Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get
things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
• Do group activities. People use language to
communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities
to talk with other students.
• Make notes during every class. Notes help you to
remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.
• Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use
dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. They also make
their own vocabulary lists.
• Think in the language you're learning outside the
classroom. When you're shopping or walking down the street, remember useful
words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say new words to practise
your pronunciation.
• Do extra practice. Test and improve your language,
reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of
this online.
• Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good
language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This
helps their motivation.
• Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun
with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games
or read a book. It's never too late to become a good language learner.
