Do you think writing a diary in English is an effective method for learning English? Why or why not?
As you know, “Writing a Diary in English” is one of many learning methods. I remember one person who actually tried this method and became bilingual. She published a how-to book. Many of you might try this method once, or twice.
So, by doing this method, “Writing a Diary in English” , can this really help you become fluent in English??
Study of the effect of “Writing a Diary in English”
From the survey of the effect of “Writing a Diary in English”, we found out that many people felt like...
I tried for a week, but saw no improvement.
I didn’t know what was right and what was wrong so I gave it up.
I got excited about writing a diary in English and even bought a book, but ended up only trying to write just once….
There seems to be many people who have tried writing diaries and failed. Like many people, they quit trying because they don’t see or feel like thay have actually learned something.
So in reality, does writing a diary really help you to become fluent in English?
People who tried and failed often say that this method doesn’t work or perhaps someone is misleading you about the benefits of this method.
But this method will and does work only if you know “How to Make it Work ” to your benefit.
And this is why.
1. Your diary will be your one and only textbook.
Using words familiar to you and knowing how to use them properly in English expands your knowledge for you to use English naturally.
Books on learning English focus on words or phrases picked out by the author. No matter how much you try to learn new phrases from these authors they may not be used and are easily forgotten.
2. Get into the habit of speaking in English one word at a time as you write.
When you write in Japanese, you write what you think one word at a time.
You’ll do the same thing in English. Even in English, thinking of the whole sentence then writing or speaking is one habit many Japanese people often do. This habit can be broken.
When you hear all these benefits, you might think
“Well, it might really effective…”
and some people actually can start writing a diary AGAIN. However, most of the time, they end up facing the first struggle they had and quit in just one week or don’t feel like it’s effective.
Why is that?
Trying without any improvement is very tough. You fail every time and you don't know what to do to improve your English.
Depending on the approach of learning, your English ability will grow faster
As I said eariar, "Depending On The Aproach" is the key.
Other than practicing and writing a diary and learning English, you will learn other techniques to see drastic improvements in a short period of time.
So, how can you improve?
We have these 6 points for you to follow.
1. Clarify your goals you want to acheve.
2. Eliminate any steps that may block your goals.
3. Build a plan for what you discover from step 2.
4. You must keep on going even though there are some distractions in front of you.
5. Don’t ever go back on your word and keep your eyes on your goal.
6. Always stay motivated.
You may think “Is there a person who could actually do these things?".
The answer is “yes”. Japanese people who became able to speak English fluently went through these steps. And they tried very hard.
And most of the time, people may have a reason, like they have to give a presentation at foreign office in English or they’ll get fired or if they can’t get 700 on a TOEIC exam. They may have had a dream that they really wanted to make come true.
They push themselves into an inevitable situation because they can’t fail anymore.
I have a question for those who are wanting to be free from studying English
You might say “I’m not in a desperate situation, but I still want to be freed from studying English.”
I have a question for you.
◎ When do you want to gain your ideal English ability? What date? Next month? In three month? Next year?
◎ How can I get your ideal goal?
◎ On a scale of 1 to 100%, how confidence are you?
◎ Do you think you can achieve these 6 points all by yourself?
If you think “Maybe it’s too much for me…”, it’s ok.
The key is not giving up.
Other than English conversation school, learning materials or study abroad, there is “English coaching” in teaching English business in Japan.
English coaching is just like personal gym coach in trying to help you achieve your goal.
The English coach will set your final goal and build a plan that you do everyday at the first session. When it starts, the coach will support you everyday and make sure you are doing the tasks that are set.
