There are many methods in learning English.
A. Learn English through games
There are a variety of wonderful games out there that have been
developed to help people of all ages to learn the English language.
Youll find games that focus on reading, others that focus on
vocabulary, some that focus on listening, and a whole lot more. So, if
you are looking for an exciting way that you and the entire family can
start learning English the following are several great games you may
want to give a try.
Vocabulary Jungle - When you learn English through games, there are
lots of online games to choose from that are free. This is one of them.
You play the game by choosing a specific category, and then you have
to try to go through the jungle, but you can only step on the words that
are in the category that you picked out. The word you choose has to
touch the square you are already on, and of course you have to keep
going forward. If you are not careful, you may end up lost in a jungle.
However, the better you get at your vocabulary, the more likely you
are going to be able to make it through all the way to the end.
To make learner easier in learning English there are some tips :
1. Speak without Fear
The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is
their own fear. They worry that they wont say things correctly or that
they will look stupid so they dont talk at all. Dont do this. The fastest
way to learn anything is to do it again and again until you get it right.

2. Surround Yourself with English

The absolute best way to learn English is to surround you with it.
3. Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible
There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English
as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are
several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native
English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a
natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to

imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow,
the more convincing and comfortable they will become.
4. Listen to English Music
Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is
often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to
learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening
to and try to read them as the artist sings
5. Do Exercises and Take Tests
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However,
by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your
English
6. Listen to English
By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts,
audio books or CDs in English. This is different than watching the
television or films because you cant see the person that is speaking to
you.

Community Language Learning
This methodology is not based on the usual methods by which
languages are taught. Rather the approach is patterned upon
counseling techniques and adapted to the peculiar anxiety and threat
as well as the personal and language problems a person encounters in
the learning of foreign languages. Consequently, the learner is not
thought of as a student but as a client. The native instructors of the
language are not considered teachers but, rather are trained in
counseling skills adapted to their roles as language counselors.
The language-counseling relationship begins with the client's linguistic
confusion and conflict. The aim of the language counselor's skill is first
to communicate an empathy for the client's threatened inadequate
state and to aid him linguistically. Then slowly the teacher-counselor
strives to enable him to arrive at his own increasingly independent
language adequacy. This process is furthered by the language
counselor's ability to establish a warm, understanding, and accepting
relationship, thus becoming an "other-language self" for the client. The
process involves five stages of adaptation:
STAGE 1
The client is completely dependent on the language counselor.

1. First, he expresses only to the counselor and in English what he

wishes to say to the group. Each group member overhears this English
exchange but no other members of the group are involved in the
interaction.
2. The counselor then reflects these ideas back to the client in the
foreign language in a warm, accepting tone, in simple language in
phrases of five or six words.
3. The client turns to the group and presents his ideas in the foreign
language. He has the counselor's aid if he mispronounces or hesitates
on a word or phrase. This is the client's maximum security stage.
STAGE 2
1. Same as above.
2. The client turns and begins to speak the foreign language directly to
the group.
3. The counselor aids only as the client hesitates or turns for help.
These small independent steps are signs of positive confidence and
hope.
STAGE 3
1. The client speaks directly to the group in the foreign language. This
presumes that the group has now acquired the ability to understand
his simple phrases.
2. Same as 3 above. This presumes the client's greater confidence,
independence, and proportionate insight into the relationship of
phrases, grammar, and ideas. Translation is given only when a group
member desires it.
STAGE 4
1. The client is now speaking freely and complexly in the foreign
language. Presumes group's understanding.
2. The counselor directly intervenes in grammatical error,
mispronunciation, or where aid in complex expression is needed. The
client is sufficiently secure to take correction.
STAGE 5

1. Same as stage 4.
2. The counselor intervenes not only to offer correction but to add
idioms and more elegant constructions.
3. At this stage the client can become counselor to the group in stages
1, 2, and 3.
