My "3 cases" theory about learning language.
- Most of the time, when we talk about "being bad at language", we usually jump into conclusion that it means "being bad at language in GENERAL".
- I used to think like that when I realized that I wasn't as good at English as I thought.
- But when I compared my English with my classmates in university, I'd also realized that my English skills were not that bad: Being able to use English directly without needing to translate it first in my head, giving presentation without needing to look at a paper or memorizing the phrases (all I need is just an outline)...
- Then what made me feel like I am a "bad" English learners?
- After thinking for awhile, I think "maybe I've fallen into the 3rd case": Case 1: Knowledge (Bad) - Skill(Bad).
- This is the most common case,especially in schools, in which learners struggle with learning new stuff (new words, new grammar structures...),leave alone using it.
- Case 2: Knowledge (Good) - Skill(Bad).
- Also a common case.
- In this case, the learners could learn new things and remember them.Their knowledge keep expanding and they could ace an English exam.
- However, they could hardly (or maybe even couldn't) use what they've learnt in real life like holding a conversation in English.
- Case 3: Knowledge (Average) - Skill(Average).
- This occurs when the learners have already reach a decent level with acceptable skills and amount of knowledge.
- But instead of trying to learn new things, they stop and just keep on using what they've learnt over and over again.
- In my case, my English is bad it's not because of my skills but my lack of knowledge (vocabulary,grammar...) What's your opinion about this?
- Do you have any advice for me?
