To improve your learning outcomes, consistency is key. Dedicate the same amount of time each day (daily goal) or week to practicing reading.
● Assess Your Vocabulary Knowledge:
Determine whether you’re familiar with the vocabulary or still learning it, and classify words accordingly into "Known" or "Learning."
● Combine Listening and Reading:
Whether you start with listening or reading depends on your learning style.
To enhance your language learning experience, consider combining both methods by following at least one of these strategies:
Read Aloud Method:
Read a portion of the text silently, then read it aloud to practice speaking and pronunciation. Afterward, listen to the audio while following along with the text. This helps bridge the gap between reading and listening skills.
Parallel Reading and Listening:
Read a sentence or short paragraph, then listen to the corresponding audio. This strengthens the connection between written and spoken language.
Repetition and Review:
Listen to the audio multiple times while following along with the text. This repetition reinforces comprehension and trains your ear to catch nuances in pronunciation.
