457. Studying calmly is necessary to learn


One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “Assigning homework? Look: the more time the students dedicate to learn English, the more they will become capable of communicating in English. It’s convenient they should dedicate some time to studying and doing exercises from the text book. In this way they can revise what learned and practiced in the classroom. Thus they will make up a tank with grammar and vocabulary, necessary for communication on the following day in the classroom. Tentatively they are easier and calmer at home to study, to focus, to discover things, to write sentences, to read a text, and consequently to interiorize that grammar pattern. Drills are good practice at home, but try and set something more communicative. Or even teach them – yes, this is better - how to see ‘real’ people and ‘real situations’ on every sentence of a drill exercise. They can imagine the scene: who is speaking to who, etc.” / Photo from: student-library www ctl mnscu edu
