Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!!! 
We meet again in our blog. Today, we had post a  few new topics. We hope this topic will help you to be more interested and having a great passion with English. 


Ways To Improve Your English


  1. Start your own English language blog just like us!. it is so easy to do. no need to write down in a piece of paper and keep worrying your paper will be messy or dirty with your messy handwriting and your liquid paper trace. it is so simple because it is just like writing your diaries and a place to be discussing many new things.
  2. Listen to MP3s. Although buying music on the internet is becoming more popular in many countries, not so many people know that you can download speech radio such as audio books (an actor reading out a novel) and speech radio. This is a lot better practice for your English than listening to English music, from sources like Scientific American, BBC and Australia's ABC Radio it is also free.  
  3. Listen to English music. Even listening to music while doing something else can help a little for things like getting used to the natural rhythm and tone of English speech, although the more time and attention you give to a song the more you will learn from listening to it again in the future. In fact, this is also helping you to relax your mind and make you feel calm.
  4. Read the lyrics to a song. Although just listening to a song in English can be a good way of learning English you also need to take some time to read the lyrics of the song with a dictionary. If the lyrics are not given in the CD booklet, you may be able to find them on the internet. Once you have read and understood the lyrics,  if you then listen and read at the same time, this can be a good way of understanding how sounds change in fast, natural, informal speech. As a result, his will help you a lot to understand a rapper part in once song.
  5. Sing karaoke in English. The next stage after understanding and memorising a song is obviously to sing it. Although some words have their pronunciation changed completely to fit in with a song, most of the words have the same sounds and stressed syllables as in normal speech. Remembering which words rhyme at the end of each line can also be a good way of starting to learn English pronunciation. 
  6. Have English radio on in the background while you are doing your housework. Even if you are not listening carefully, it will help you get a feel for natural English rhythm and intonation.


How to Promote the Use of The English Language???

  1. We know that exposure to language through visual or print and oral medium is essential.  This is what the textbook, other print and audio materials, and the teacher’s language attempt to do. This exposure is alone not sufficient. We need to give opportunities to children to work with language. Children should read, think about the ideas of the text, understand the meaning of the words, associate them with ideas and other words, notice the form of the structures, while being exposed to the language and working with language on their own. This engagement with language makes them internalize meaning of words and structures. 
  2. In addition to textbook activities, project work could be used as an effective strategy to promote English where learners in groups work together to do an activity or a task for some period. When learners work together on a particular idea or topic, they collect information, ideas, observe language being used, use language in real life situations, exchange views and debate on ideas, write the ideas into a report, edit their writing and produce the report in a suitable form.

What are the activities that we love the most when its comes to
 English language???

  1. Group work. It will enhance our skills in giving a speech or ways to talk in front of audience.
  2. Learning grammar. It help us a lot in improving our grammar, and giving us a lot of understand about the type of sentences and its structure.
  3. Listening and speaking English. It made us be more alert and makes us give a full attentions during this time. Its kind of  like taking MUET test. Its quite hard, but fun. :)
  4. Ways to pronounce the A, B, C..., Z sound. This is so fun because we can see a lot of funny faces trying hard to pronounce the each letter. :P
