Part I Getting ready

B.

1. People are delighted if you can speak their language, and they don't care how well you

speak it. They are not upset when you make mistakes. I think in order to learn, you mustn't be afraid of making mistakes.

2. I'm a very shy person and it's not easy for me to talk to strangers. But you have to force

yourself to talk to people. That's what I did and it really helped me.

3. I think the best language learners are people with a sense of humor. Try to laugh at your

own mistakes and don't take yourself too seriously. You'll find that other people will be sympathetic when you make mistakes.

4. I took two courses in business studies. I read, studied, listened to lectures and took notes in

English. It was a very good experience for me because I didn't have time to think about the language. I recommend forgetting about the grammar and thinking about the meaning instead.

5. In my experience, learning a foreign language always involves a lot of time, a lot of boring

work and lots of problems! In short, if you want to learn another language you have to work hard.

6. Try to read as much as you can. I think that's the best way to improve your English and to

learn more new words. I always try to read something in English every day.

Part II Are you a good language leaner?

The topic I'd like to deal with this morning is what makes a good language learner. This is an eternal problem, and one to which there's no real solution. I would however like you to think about the situation of learners outside the classroom because in many ways it would be true to say that there are more people in the world who speak a foreign language or a second language who didn't learn it in a classroom than there are who did and I think this awareness of the success of out-of-classroom learning provides us with a key to how in-classroom learning can be successful.

Let us look then at the characteristics of a good language learner. I think motivation is certainly going to be very high on our list. Obviously there are different kinds of motivation; there is what we call instrumental motivation, this is the kind of motivation which in theory persuades a school pupil to learn a language in order to pass an examination—it's external motivation, something which is imposed on the learner. The opposite of this is integrative motivation, the kind of motivation which gets an immigrant in a country or someone who's married to a speaker of another language to master the tongue much more rapidly than someone learning in a classroom. Arguably most people possess mixed motivation although it would appear from research that integrative motivation does give much better results, certainly as far as speed of learning goes. Personality is obviously another major factor to be borne in mind —not necessarily, I'm not necessarily saying that you need —er how shall I say? — e xtroverts to learn a foreign language, but someone who has the confidence to make mistakes is always going to learn much more quickly than someone who is afraid to experiment.
