In our globalized world, English has become the most
important language for universal communication. That’s probably one of the main
reasons why you have chosen to take some time to study abroad at an ESL school
such as TALK School Of Languages! Improving or perfecting your English
language skills is going to go a long way to help you in your career
advancement, and to be able to communicate with others, including
non-English
native speakers.
Here are a few ideas about you can do to improve your English
language skills.
Start Writing an English Blog
– Blogging is a way to express yourself, and to enable you to
practise your written English language skills. Writing in English is a
great way of acquiring vocabulary and understanding the meaning of words as you
sue them in context. Start off by writing just a sentence a day, then a bit
more like a paragraph, and before long you will see a great improvement in both
your reading and writing skills.
Listen to Music with English Lyrics (Words)
– Music is a great way to improve your English. By listening to how the
words are used, and how they are rhymed with each other, you can learn a lot
about the sound and meaning of a word. Listen to the same song over and over
again, become familiar with the words and very soon you understand the meaning
and rhythms of the words.
Read English
Children’s Books –
Children’s books are also a great way of helping to improve your overall
English. Children’s books are designed for beginners who are learning to read
and write. They often have pictures attached to the words or sentences so that
the meanings are easier to understand.
Speak out Loud – Find a
private place, where you can go to talk or read out loud in English. Saying and
hearing the words will make you more comfortable with doing so in company or in
class. This is a good practice if you are reluctant to communicate with native
speakers or more fluent English language learners, but need to be able to practice your English in the company of others.
