A lot of learning methods that have balanced from Nation's Strands were introduced in this class. In terms of meaning-focused input, he suggests that already familiar material can more attract learners' interests. Otherwise, those words which are unfamiliar with learners would lose their interests easily. English extensive reading influences reading interests, approaches of stimulating. Plus, it is an effective way for us to acquire the language we use in everyday life by watching Dramas or movies. To make the best use of the knowledge, we need to produce the regular output. One of the example activities I think is practicable is setting a target time. For instance, writing a blog or an essay in a limited time. This makes sure that you can more concentrate on what you are working on.
In my opinion, the key is to find what works for you and then plan your time accordingly. It is no use talking without taking any action.
If an English class installs Nation's suggestion, only 25% of the class time can be spent on language itself. This means a 50-minute high school class can spend only 13 minutes on grammatical explanation. Do you think this works in Japan? (Koyo)
