READING and WRITING a foreign language are analytical skills.
You may be good at these if you are a logical person who attends to detail.
Train yourself through practice to notice and remember details such as accents and gender agreement.
READING SKILLS TIPS:
1. First, read the vocabulary list for the assignment.
Next, read the questions about the reading. Then read all the way through
a new passage two or three times, guessing at meaning from context.
Avoid word-by-word translation. It is a waste of time!
2. Isolate new vocabulary and study it separately.
DON'T write between the lines! Make flash cards.
Carry them with you and recite them several times during the day
at odd moments. Overlearn them until they are automatic.
3. Isolate new grammatical forms and study them separately.
Write the pattern on a flash card and memorize it. Write out and label
a model sentence. When you encounter the form while reading, pause and
recite the pattern to recognize the form.
WRITING SKILLS TIPS:
1. Pay attention to detail: notice accents, order of letters, etc.
Compare letter-by-letter different forms (singular, plural, gender, etc.)
Write out conjugations of verbs, declensions of pro-nouns, etc.,
and check your endings. Memorize irregular verbs.
2. To master spelling, have a friend dictate 10 words to you.
Write them out and immediately have your friend spell them correctly
aloud while you look carefully and point at each letter.
Repeat until you get all the words right.
3. Write (in your own simple foreign vocabulary words) a story
you have just read.
LISTENING and SPEAKING are performance skills.
You may do well at these if you are naturally outgoing.
Students in foreign language classes often have difficulty hearing
and speaking because they are anxious about making mistakes.
It's OK to make mistakes! Have fun trying to speak!
LISTENING SKILLS TIPS:
1. Frequent the language lab. Read the exercises in your book first;
then listen and read together; then listen without looking at the print.
Say aloud/write what you hear.
2. Participate silently in class when others are called on to speak.
Focus on the task; don't worry about how you'll do.
3. If you feel nervous, relax yourself physically by taking
a couple of slow, deep breaths. When called on, pause, relax, and give
yourself time to respond.
4. Listen while a friend dictates to you and write what you hear.
Check for accuracy.
5. Practice: join language clubs, watch foreign TV,
listen to foreign radio.
SPEAKING SKILLS TIPS:
1. Study out loud! Mimic the sounds of the language. Don't mumble.
Although most people feel embarrassed making strange sounds,
the language will soon feel more familiar to you.
2. When called on in class, say something, even it it's wrong:
you'll learn from it. If you need a moment to think, repeat the question.
If you don't know the answer, say in your foreign language,
"I don't know" or "help!"
3. Practice with a foreign student
who wants your help to learn English or with another class member.

Salah satu cara menciptakan lingkungan berbahasa inggris yang kondusif adalah dengan membuat aturan yang mewajibkan siswa untuk menggunakan bahasa inggris selama berada di dalam kelas. Semua keperluan harus diucapkan dalam bahasa inggris seperti ingin izin ke kamar mandi, ingin bertanya, minta diterangkan kembali, meminjam barang, dan sebagainya. Pertanyaan, izin atau pernyataan yang disampaikan dengan bahasa indonesia harus diabaikan. Tidak peduli siswa hanya mampu mengatakan "I go to WC" untuk mengatakan bahwa ia minta izin untuk ke kamar mandi, misalnya. Dari situ siswa akan memahami bahwa mereka harus mempersiapkan diri menghafalkan kalimat untuk keperluan mereka di kelas. Dengan demikian, akan terbangun motivasi siswa mencari jalan apapun agar mereka sanggup berkomunikasi dengan bahasa inggris, paling tidak dengan guru di kelas. Dan ujung-ujungnya kemampuan berbahasa Inggris mereka akan semakin baik dari hari ke hari.
Beberapa ekspresi bahasa inggris yang bisa dihafalkan dan dibiasakan siswa di kelas antara lain:
1. "Excuse me Sir/Mam, I want to go to the bathroom" 2. "Could you close the door, please?" 3. "May I borrow your pencil, please?" 4. "Could you lend me your book, please?" 5. "Excuse me Sir/Mam, I have got a question" 6. "I'm sorry sir/mam, I dont understand, could you repeat once more, please?"
