Lesson 4: Don’t Start With Grammar

 

Most English educators still try to dump tens and thousands of grammar rules in to their students’ heads only to create a huge barrier in the students mind. As shown in many studies conducted across the world and across multiple languages, most students who try to master grammar before getting an intuitive feel of how the language flows fail miserably or give up, out of lack of confidence. Think about how you started speaking your native language. Did you start by learning all the grammar in the world or did you just speak? The same approach applies when you start your English study. Once you get in to the habit of having conversations in English, you start speaking freely and the grammar rules you have learned so far start making more sense to you. This is why Spoken English Practice follows an approach where emphasis is placed getting students to have conversations in English rather than to waste time learning millions of grammar rules. At Spoken English Practice, our sessions are 100% real life conversations students have with native English speakers. Our English study method is practice based rather than theory based.

Just like when we learn Indonesian from a young age, at first we don't really care about the grammar rules. Until finally we get used to the Indonesian language itself and catch subconsciously how the grammar is used. From here we can finally imitate and use grammar in speech and writing as we have heard and seen. This process is referred to as 'language acquisition' or 'language acquisition'. This process often occurs unconsciously.

So, if you want to be successful in mastering English, we should use the same method when we first learned Indonesian. How to? We can start by getting used to English; for examples by watching movies, listening to music, chatting, listening and paying attention to people talking, and reading. All activities are conducted in English.

When we are used to listening, reading, speaking, and writing in English, we will unconsciously get used to the correct form of grammar or grammar. Not everyone who is proficient in English is a graduate of English Literature, which means that not everyone learns grammar in detail during college. This is because English is not only about grammar.
