National 4 ESOL in Context Work & Study - Student Notes Part 1

Listen every day to English. Listen to the radio from time to time. Do not worry
about the words which you do not understand. Listen carefully to the words which
you already know and that will help you to understand what the speaker is talking
about. You should also watch TV, go to the cinema or borrow videos or DVDs
from video rental shops. While watching, look carefully at the mouth of the
speaker. Observe how they talk focusing on stress and intonation. Try to repeat
what they are saying copying the stress and intonation.

Speaking is very important. It takes time to speak English well. Speak to as many
students as you can. You should always use what you have learnt. Do not worry
about making errors. We even make mistakes when we speak in our own
language. If you do not have someone to speak to in English at home, try to
speak as much as possible in the college or school during breaks and in the
classroom, especially when your teacher asks the class to work in pairs or
groups. Borrow some cassettes and try to repeat words and phrases after the
speaker to improve your pronunciation.

Read as many English books, newspapers and magazines as you can find. Read
what you are interested in. Do not interrupt your reading at each unfamiliar word
to use the dictionary. You do not need every word to understand the meaning of
what you read. Try to practise increasing your reading speed by using different
reading skills such as guessing meanings of new words, predicting and reading
groups of words together rather than focusing on single words. When you finish
reading, use a highlighter to highlight some useful words and phrases and record
them in your vocabulary notebook. Divide your notebook into sections (eg
shopping, health or education).

You can only improve your writing by using the words and phrases you have
learned. If you use the same words and sentences, which you know already, your
writing will not improve. Try to use some of the new words and phrases in your
writing. When you use them once or twice, you will remember them easily. Do not
forget to learn from your mistakes. If you do not know how to correct your
mistakes, ask one of the other students or your teacher.

c using the words and phrases you have learned

7 Watching a video can help you improve your T F DS

8 Your vocabulary notebook should be divided into T F DS
