Advice for students struggling with English

(Montreal)

April 30

We've asked our English teachers: What is your advice for students who are struggling with the language?


Martin Dansky : Try to find a new approach and insist on learning. Maybe the person can change a study habit or create more time for himself. Quality is more important than quantity, I say to beginners who want to be understood but lack vocabulary and complicated tenses. So they have to be patient when acquiring new language skills!It is usually the beginner that struggles and the intermediate student who wants to become a more advanced speaker. That person has to think in the new language, so having access to other modes of language learning like watching more English language films is suggested.

Ashley English : Never give up! Practice makes perfect.

Dakota Smith : My advice is to book a class with me! Besides taking a class, students can improve by practicing. This may mean practicing actively, such as by completing exercises, or practicing passively, perhaps by watching English language films.

Eleftheria Nika : Listening, speaking and reading in English helps a lot!

Rosemary Elman : Be kind to yourself and remember that each individual learns at their own pace.

Syed Faiz Ali : Keep trying.

Bev Hotchkiss : When we are struggling we sometimes need to take a break, or we need to change our approach. A good idea is to listen to popular music, watch a movie, or read a children's book instead of sticking to grammar or academic language textbooks.
