IN today's world, everyone would agree about the importance of learning English, the international language. It is always a plus to know the international language, be it in academic life or in professional life. Those who will have better proficiency in English language will enjoy better career opportunity--both home and abroad. One of the best ways of learning English is practising it in a group. This has been proved to be very effective.
Those who are interested to develop their proficiency in English may practice the language through debate, delivery of speech, discussion from newspapers, discussion of a story and so on. Though in this way they can mainly practice spoken English, they can surely develop other skills such as reading, writing and listening. Practicing in such group has been proved to be easy and effective.
In Bangladesh, there are many people who may criticize your practicing English. For being criticized by others for practicing English, you may feel demotivated to practice the language. When you will practice English in group, you will probably be less criticized by others. Also practising English in this way will surely remove shyness, which is a major hindrance for the development of an individual in the language.
When and how frequently can your group sit? It would be the best if you can sit everyday and preferably at the same time, be it in the morning, at noon, afternoon or evening. You need to practice everyday for keeping up the fluency in the language. It is like walking, it you walk everyday, you would feel better. If you do not walk, you feel inertia. In order to keep yourself inertia-free, you should try your best to practice the foreign language everyday.
Some of the group members sometimes may think: "none of us speak the language error-free". By thinking so, they may sometimes feel demotivated to continue their practice. Group members should not think this way. Since English is not their mother tongue, they will make mistakes and they will learn through mistakes.
If proficiency in the international language can assure your better life, better education, better carrier--why not to start practising the language just today?
