Part 1

Poor language learners can be taught to become good language learners.

Numerous poor language learners bypass utilising the language in the early phases for worry of a breakdown in communication. The good language learner, on the other hand, values the language at every accessible opportunity (Aagård, & St.John, 2003, 12-15). They are eternally searching out possibilities both to use and to discover the language, for demonstration chatting with storekeepers (rather than just buying the items they have gone there to buy); inquiring persons at the coach halt how to get to where they desire to proceed (even though they are clear on this already!) rather than of just getting on the bus; inquiring somebody in the road to interpret some odd object or happening (rather than just transient it by); inquiring somebody on the coach or train to interpret certain thing in their Chinese textbook, etc.. All the while, thus, they are taking and conceiving possibilities to use the language (Aase, 2003, 185-197).

 

They are a methodical organizer

The poor language learner often needs a designed and methodical approach to obtaining the language, and therefore falls short to come to a sensible benchmark of performance. The good language learner, although, identifying the magnitude of the task, groups down a design of crusade, splitting up their study program into attainable goals, and coordinating normal times for study (Barfield, 2003, 34-36). Then they systematically record what they discover about the language -- if articulation, syntax or language -- in order that it is gladly accessible for reference.

They are eager to trial with distinct discovering methods

They furthermore note how other persons discovered the language, endeavouring out their procedures to glimpse if they are apt for them.

 

They make mistakes work

The poor language learner is so aghast of making errors that they state not anything until they are certain that they can state it wholeheartedly rightly -- and that day not ever arrives! The good language learner understands differently. They identify that mistakes are a part of the discovering method itself and examines upon them as a promise source of data, as well as a way of advancing their language skills. They not only note their mistakes, but furthermore try to realise why they made them and how to bypass making them afresh in the future (Aagård, & St.John, 2003, 12-15).

 

They are an amicable initiator of conversation

For numerous language scholars, it should be the other individual who starts a dialogue before connection takes place. The good language learner understands that it is best if they start the ball revolving by starting the dialogue with an inquiry or comment. And by doing it in a moderately hot and amicable pitch of voice, they find that the other individual is generally ...
