01-A. How to be a successful language learner?

“Learning a language is easy, even a child can do it!”

Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this

statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need

hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee success

for every adult language learner.

Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people

who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in

language learning. Conversely, some people who are successful language learners

find it difficult to succeed in other fields.

Language teachers often offer advice to language learners: “Read as much

as you can in the new language.”“ Practice speaking the language every day. ”

“Live with people who speak the language.”“Don’t translate-try to think in the

new language.”“ Learn as a child would learn; play with the language.”

But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research

shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do

not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the

language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the

patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues

and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They

try to learn from their mistakes.

Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners

do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They

find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them

when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not

afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make

mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept

information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to

think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want

to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people

who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to

communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to

practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.

What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language

learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully.

On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you

might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.
