Playing Dual Roles: Teacher and Student

You will have a lot of fun if you can play dual roles being a teacher and a learner to enhance your English skills. The ideas below provide some tips.

• Use audio materials to teach yourself. If possible, help yourself listen to learn before you will read to learn.
• Make yourself answer and respond to the listening and reading tasks. So, you will engage in deep learning not the superficial learning.
• Get into the details. Learning happens when it touches on the great details of the subject. So, read and listen to something that you are immensely interested in. Your study will also satisfy your intellectual thirst.
• Take time to show yourself the learning materials as many times as you can. It is necessary to repeat the listening and reading. Give yourself a break if you are bored by the reading.
• Record your own reading or speaking. You will see your own progress in the process.
• Tell yourself that you appreciate and value your effort. Believe in yourself and your ability of learning English.
