3 important principles of effective English learning guide from the experts.
Practice the method of learning English effectively through film in 3 steps:
– Step 1: Choose the film that suits your level. Global Learn recommends that the movies should be animated, comedic or sitcoms, as the tempo of these films is rather slow, the sayings are simple so the learners can hear all the sentences in the conversation.
– Step 2: After selecting the movie then we can start learning. Choose a short conversation that you like. Why? Because emotion determines so much to the process of learning English. For example, in a dialogue between two people, you choose a character and learn the dialogue of that character. Try to imitate the intonation of that character’s.
– Step 3: immersive. Once you remember, role play the character in the movie by re-opening the dialogue, pausing at the character’s speaking and speaking instead of the character, with all the same expressions and intonation as in movie.
By practicing sentences in a movie like this, you will be able to practice speaking more, speaking in more contexts, and not mechanically following shorter conversations in textbooks.
