learning a new language

I think the best way of learning a new language is living in the society that people talk in that language. "That means immersion" (Scott Douglas).

But, about being in class or not, I believe class is more useful and appropriate than trying to learn a language alone or at home. In class, you can share ideas and do teamworks with other students. You can also experience being in a place that everybody talks in that language(at least for 4 or 6 hours per week). In my own experience, I learned most of my knowledge about English in classrooms. Especially when it was not a formal and academic session(not like EAP). When I involve in teamwork and I need to ask questions or search for specific information, I think I learn more than any other situation. As i said in the beginning, living in a foreign country is the best way of course. In my opinion we can not write, speak or read in a new language like native speakers if we don't live in that country. In this immersion style we are forced to learn daily and usual words and slangs to do our jobs. We must learn how to talk to a cashier for example. We should learn how to take the bus, go to school, shop, and generally live. So, in this situation learning a new language is the fastest way ,I think.

I also think registering in EAP is the best way to learn English academically! Especially when Scott and Murray are your instructors!

Happy EAPP III !!!!!
