Transparent Learning (and Teaching)

The best way to make sure that you are doing your best when learning English is to get help from somebody. When other people know you are learning they will help you.

Wake up every morning and say out loud, "What am I going to do today to improve my English?"

Don't set goals like "attend English class". You should challenge yourself to do something. Do things like try on clothes at a shopping mall, or use the telephone to find out about movie times or make an appointment at a bank to open an account.

"Today I will _____________, because it will help me to ____________."

This will help your brain prepare for the day, getting you ready to make improvements. If you are able to attend a language school, then you need to find out why you need to take the classes they suggest. When you learn something in class, ask the teacher how you can use this today outside of class so that you will be able to use new language immediately.

You came to Victoria because you thought it would be better than learning English in your country. You should be spending your time here practicing and speaking, not doing homework or studying for tests.
