Studying while you are doing other things is special technique. You need a way to study without a book that is big and heavy. And you need a little special equipment. I recommend the iPod, and you can use other mp3 players too. The great advantage is they are light, small, and you can change the contents easily. Listening to stories on these devices can be a great way to study.
In the first day school every teacher got their own rules. It can built such kind of understanding between a teacher and his/her students. I notice there are 3 points that teacher should tell the students to do to make the class conducive especially for an English teacher:
1. Attendance, in Indonesia especially in a private school, students attendance are minimum. Their motivation are lesser than the state school students. So, it is very important to make a bound between a teacher and students to reach the target. If the students miss their target the consequence is they will not be passed or not allowed to follow exam.
2. Dictionary, every time a student follow an English class to have a dictionary is a must. It likes when they go for a Battle they must bring a weapon with them. Otherwise they will be killed or defeated easily. Dictionary will help the students to understand the translation based on the context. Therefore choosing a good dictionary also important to the students. As long as I know the most contextual dictionary (English-Indonesia, Indonesia-English) is John Echols and Hasan Shadilly's dictionary.
3. Time, to be discipline is one of the key for success. Both teacher and student have to be on time with the schedule in order to make the activity goes well as the plan.
4. Activeness, in the students center learning-based, students activeness will make the class active. Every single chapter the teacher gives, students are encouraged to find anything related to it both in group or individually. Teacher will assess them based on their effort and finally from their competencies as the result of the activity.
English is the mother tongue of the world and you will find English speaking people on every continent and in every country. If you are reading this article then you are one of those people that DON'T speak English as your first language and obviously this is presenting you with a problem.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just magically learn to speak English without having to work at it? That's what every language learner hopes for, but unfortunately it does take work to learn English. Even more importantly, however, it takes curiosity. For example, one German student who had studied and taught English her entire life, was surprised when she heard someone say, "Give it a try." She had never noticed before that English speakers probably say "Give it a try," much more often than we say, "Try it." Even though she easily understood the meaning of "Give it a try," she had never noticed that common English phrase before, so she had never used it. Once she noticed it, however, she could start to use it and thus took a step towards improving the naturalness and accuracy of her English.
The process of writing an English sentence is much easier when the writer starts with a basic thought and systematically uses all the English writing tools to accurately express the complete thought.

Are you having difficulty in learning English? You say to yourself: "If only I could learn English better, then I can do much more than that."? If you answered yes to these questions, and I'm sure you're wondering how you can do so. In this article, I would like to explain some of the problems faced by many English learners, and ways to improve English language which is simple and can be fun at the same time.
Parents who want to improve their kids abilty in mastering English, these are some useful tips :
First, guide your children to access interactive sites, so that they can communicate with people who have the same interest.
Second, make a schedule for them to do their homework, projects and help them when neccessary.
Third, play English songs that they can catch the lyrics
Fourth, Use computer for playing educational games
Fifth, choose an appropriate program on TV/CD/DVD to the age and level. Cartoons and animation films are something worth to be applied.W
Sixth, Encourage them to read stories for you
Seventh, let your child tell you what they have learned in the school. Ask them to mention pictures in the book they are learning.
Eight, name any objects in the house with their english names. This will make the language becomes real in their mind.
Ninth, ask your children to write new words more than five times each, then let them spell and read it.
Tenth, Help your child to make 'personal dictionary. In a notebook, write a letter of the alphabet at the top of each page. Begins with A and ends with Z. Children can register new words learned in school to the appropriate page. Can draw pictures to illustrate the meaning, and to put into or used in a sentence. This can be a great way to review.
Eleventh, If the parents can not speak English make a conversation when possible
To be realistic about what you can for your child
* for all students to have knowledge of the positive and negative. This means that students can understand and appreciate more than I can say or write.
* focus on what children know they do not have forgotten. The allocation of students in many cases, new words. Lilly may remember the "puppet", "jump rope" while Tom remembers the words such as "Dinosaur" or "robot".
* When children get their mother tongue, and they understand the words before they are able to read and write. This is also true when learning a foreign language.
* Foreign language learners often go through a 'silent phase' when you start to learn the language. This is normal. That they are listening and note the language. When you are ready, and will speak.
* learners need to meet several times a language over a period of time before the 'know' it. We do not expect your child to 'know' everything after the first lesson. The teacher will review the words in the next lesson to help students to remember.
* Studies show that learners who have normal exposure to language before puberty are more likely to be the best language skills (including pronunciation) by the time they are adults.
* make mistakes is a natural part of the learning process.
Most important of all: remember that children are sponges! Do not expect them to absorb all that has been taught in school. Also, do not be too hard on your kid. Parents must make learning English and fun as possible.
