For those of you who are struggling with learning ESL (English as a second language) or tired of using online chat tutors this might help.
It’s becoming a proven fact that when you practice your English speaking with native English speakers you become better faster and the learning process becomes extremely easy.
Many ESL online students may find it difficult to become fluent if not given the chance to practice in a real life environment.
Scenario: you take classes a few times a month to improve your English for a business conference you’re going to in the United States. You’ve booked a flight there and when you arrive you don’t see your luggage at the terminal for pick up.
They have lost your bags! How will you tell them you’ve lost your luggage?
Example: “Hi Sir, I have lost my bags.”
Better Example: “My luggage wasn’t at the terminal for pick up. I wonder if you could help me find my luggage and tell me when you will arrange to get those to me and where I will pick those up?”
The better example is polite, very descriptive and the tone of your voice will help you deliver your message to the air port customer service better.
How will you learn that tone of voice or pronunciation?Practicing your English on native English speakers as well as listening to them speak will significantly help you be better understood and give you a better experience when you make your trip to the United States.
Can you practice real life scenarios or have these kinds of experience simply using online chat? Most likely you won’t be able to achieve this.
Native English speakers have different accents, slang, and tone of voice that you can pick up on and become a native English sounding speaker yourself, but only given the right tools, environment and opportunity.
ESL online shouldn’t be so hard or frustrating. It should be fun, exciting and results oriented in speech, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, writing and more. It should offer you a chance to immerse yourself in real life environment situations but also allow you to do this all from your home computer.
In conclusion there are such schools out there that provide this and more. Innovative and immersion teaching of ESL online is your best bet to get the most bang out of your buck (idiom: to spend your money on opportunities that give you expected results, that you come to expect and that are reasonably priced).
