So you are either an ESL student or you simply want to learn better English, but you don't know how. Learn English easily you say? Well let me tell you this right off the blocks, you can learn to speak English relatively easily but it will NOT happen overnight. Principles behind Communicative Activities. Encouraging students to give a variety of responses both personal and practice using language creatively. Giving students a purpose for using the language. Examples include discussion, games, problem solving and information-gap activities. Organizing activities in pairs or small groups allow the students to use language in private face-to-face interaction Take notes in this language, put its books around your room, listen to its language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television, and speak it with your friends whenever you can. The more material in this language you have around you, the faster you will learn. Take at least a half an hour everyday to read in English. Read newspapers, magazines, books, articles on the Internet, and anything else that captures your interest. Keep a dictionary with you to translate any words you do not know.

Study Your Native Language's Grammar Knowing this will make it easier to understand English grammar. Although there will inevitably be differences between your first language and English, having an understanding of how grammar works in any language will make a huge difference. It will be easier to become familiar with grammatical concepts in your native language and transfer them to English rather than being bombarded with everything unfamiliar at once.

Have fun while watching a movie (don't watch the dubbed version, watch movies with subtitles) and improve your listening skills and vocabulary at the same time. Read Fiction. Start reading English fiction at whatever level you can understand. Reading will help you to learn grammar inductively, and reading fiction will pull you along with a story that will keep your studies interesting. Write down all the new useful words and phrases you learn. This will help you remember them. So many people forget what they study. Writing down what you learn will help you remember a lot more than usual. 5 new words a day is enough to make a big difference.
