How to Improve our English Language Proficiency
The English language is a widely used language and can be seen everywhere across the
world. Relevant and important information are usually written in English especially when it is posted
on the world wide web. Therefore, it is important that we improve our English language proficiency.
So, here are some tips and tricks to improve our English language proficiency.
First of all, everyone should create an English environment in their home. The way people
learn languages is by immersing themselves within an environment. Therefore, we should immerse
ourselves in the English language such as listening to songs in English, watching shows in English,
reading books in English and most importantly converse with our family members in English.
Next, we can write a diary about our daily life in English. Writing a diary can be a very
reflecting experience as you can write about interesting things that happened during the day, Not
only that, we can also write about some life lessons that we have learnt which can be a reminder for
us to not make the same mistakes again. By writing a diary, we can learn some news words and that
will surely improve our English proficiency.
Last but not least, we can improve our English Language proficiency by watching tutorial
videos about the English Language. To improve our English Language, we should also learn its
structure, namely grammar and vocabulary. In YouTube, there are various videos that teaches about
the English Language structure from the basics of learning vocabulary to writing a piece of essay. Did
you know that there is a YouTube Channel called “Cikgu Rachael” that teaches the grammar of
English in Malay? Go to YouTube and subscribe to her channel to learn more. Therefore, instead of
joining a paid class, we can just search up free informative videos on YouTube.
I believe that if we implement these tips and tricks consistently, we are able to improve our
English Language proficiency.
