The Guidance Regarding Eff ective Practice in Second Language Classroom

Ruohan Wang

Abstract


Nowadays, second language acquisition arouses a heated discussion. And how can learners eff ectively learn a foreign language is a question worth exploring. As for teachers, they should focus on their teaching process in order to make their lessons more targeted. By contrast, for learners, they need to fi nd some specifi c methods to help them learn the language. Only in this way will the learning effi ciency be improved gradually. Meanwhile, positive learning atmosphere can be created. Eventually, learning a foreign language no longer is the burden but their pleasures for language learners.
