Reading to Learn English
Vocabulary
Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary! The context of
articles, stories, and conversations helps you figure out and
understand the meaning of English words in the text that are new to
you. Reading also provides repetition of vocabulary words you have already learned to help you
remember them.
Read an English book, newspaper or
magazine.
• Find something you are really interested in -- whether that's a famous English novel or a fashion magazine and start working your way through it.
• Make an active effort to actually understand what you're reading. Highlight any words or phrases that you don't understand, then look them up in the dictionary.
• If you're alone, you could also try reading aloud -- this will allow you to improve your reading comprehension while also working on your pronunciation.
Keep a diary in English.
• This may be one of the most difficult aspects of your language learning, but it is important nevertheless. Writing in English will help you to work on your sentence structure, grammar and spelling.
• Try keeping an English diary in which you write down a few sentences every day. It doesn't have to be deeply personal -- you could write about the weather, what you ate for dinner or what your plans are for the day.
• If you feel comfortable with it, get a native speaker to look over what you've written and check it for any errors. This will help you to avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.
Improve Your Written English• Write frequently, in a wide range of formal and
informal situations.• Get the most out of your dictionary by
understanding how to use it correctly . You can use a good English dictionary to find words, for meaning, for pronunciation to check your spelling
and to understand explanations.• Copy out short passages of English text from
newspapers, magazines or books.
• If you are using a computer, use an English spell checker.
• Check what you've written. Even better, get someone else to proofread what you've written. Check for spelling, capitalisation and punctuation.
• Try to find English speaking pen friends and write to them or, use a messenger service like MSN, Yahoo, Google or find a chatroom. If you can't get in touch with native speakers then contact other learners.
