Academic English

Lots of people want to come to Canada to attend university or college, or even high school. At most English schools you will be able to study general, business, or academic English. Unfortunately, however, most schools do not prepare students for doing anything in business or academic English. Most classes are just vocabulary. Often students believe that all they need is more vocabulary and better grammar. This is usually not the problem.

Yes, you do need to learn more vocabulary, but memorizing it for a test is not going to help. You need to use new vocabulary in context so that you can easily use it again the next time. As I have said before, almost every student I have met from Asia or South America need practice with vocabulary, not more of it.

This is why you need to join a course or class that focuses on letting you practice the English you know, while your teachers give you the English you need when you are practicing. When you do this, you will remember what to say and when much more easily.

In my next post I will begin telling you about some of the cool projects and project student we have at REV.
