3641. What to Have if You Want to Learn a Language

 I wish my students would learn and acquire English, and you also wish that from your students as a teacher. 

You know, those learners must be willing to learn that language, no matter their age, yet above all if they are kids from some ten years of age – before that age they are pretty naturally willing to learn. 

Of course they must be that willing if they’re teens or adults. 

Only that way can they learn and acquire the foreign or second language. The more willing they are, the more language they’ll learn and acquire. 

And learning and acquiring a language is not just attending some classes and just sitting there and just see what the teacher does. You don’t learn English that way at all. It entails your whole self. It’s not just sitting and listening to some audio. It’s not like learning math or history – and in no way do I despise those subjects. It’s what scholar and expert H. D. Brown used to say: you must involve your whole self: physical, emotional, mental, attitudinal… It’s more of a sheer positive attitude to learning. 

Or what other experts say: it’s not just what you do in class as a learner but what you do out of the class. It’s the experience of language-achievers. 

Because of that you may think of the possibility of having some talks to your dear students about all this stuff: if they really really want to learn, well, then they will attain it. 

So as to finish for today: as well all this stuff is up to the teacher: if he or she really really tries and teach nice and planned classes, with the purpose their students will really really learn English, then those teachers will obtain that purpose more likely than not. 

Yep, because those professionals will be transmitting and passing on the lure for learning English or whatever the language is. 

Another issue is classroom management, for you can find students who don’t want to learn; however, we have to start by having a professional who really really wishes his or her students will learn, and he or she will have to combine both benevolence love plus serious class managing to achieve a rather peaceful class atmosphere for learning and working: the teacher IS a serious and moral authority, and you can consult other blog posts about discipline and management of the class. Have a nice day.
