At the same time, it helps students increase their ability to quickly react to all daily communication situations, especially proficient application in the working environment.

Reasons why it is difficult for working people to learn English

There are many reasons why it is more difficult for working people to learn English than for children.

First, working people have too much knowledge in their heads and tend to use logic to explain things. Therefore, when learning English or any language other than their mother tongue, they tend to use their logic and existing knowledge to explain the grammatical rules of that language. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you overdo it, the commuter will focus too much on memorizing and explaining grammatical structures instead of simply listening and speaking and developing daily communication skills like children.

Second, working people have a psychology of being afraid of making mistakes, afraid of being ridiculed. They would rather not say it than say it wrong, they will be judged or ridiculed by others. In fact, it’s perfectly natural to make mistakes when using a language other than your native language, and no one will laugh at you. The people who laugh at you are a little ignorant and you have nothing to worry about them. Remember, everything has a beginning, making mistakes and correcting mistakes is inevitable to complete the process of learning English for working people.

Third, working people often consider English as a subject rather than a skill. Therefore, the method of approaching a new language for them is like math, physics and chemistry, learning theoretical formulas and then applying and solving exercises. However, learning English in general and English in particular is a process of skill development – you need to practice, make mistakes, correct mistakes and develop, not learn and solve problems – these two issues are completely different.

Methods and approaches to learning English for working people

– Find yourself a reason and motivation to learn English

Instead of approaching English learning on the fly, working people should find themselves a suitable reason and motivation to learn English. Ask yourself seriously “why do I need to learn that English?” – the answers can be different such as “I want a promotion, a salary increase”, “I want to look for opportunities to settle abroad”, “I want to travel abroad on my own without an interpreter”,  “I want to find a job at a foreign company”, “I want to date a foreigner”,… Once you have found your reason, you will have more motivation and effort than learning English.

– Make an English learning plan based on specific goals

You learn English to travel, study abroad, settle down, to communicate with ordinary people or to serve certain specific work needs. Determine your specific purpose when learning English, it will be easier for you to choose a more suitable program or syllabus for yourself.

If you simply want to improve your communication skills when traveling abroad in the coming month, then preparing for the IELTS test at this time is completely inappropriate. If you intend to work and live abroad, then maybe a reflective communication English course will help you in the long run. What if you want to learn English to serve office communication situations such as writing emails, meetings, and negotiations,… You will probably be convinced by a business English course. This is to emphasize that, when you have a specific purpose, it will be easier and more appropriate to choose the syllabus, materials and learning methods, helping you save time and learn English more effectively.

– Using technology, culture and multimedia to serve learning

Learning English for working people has an advantage over children in that you are used to using technology or media, as well as enough to learn about the culture of different parts of the country. Therefore, you can completely take advantage of the means and technology to serve your English learning. What’s more exciting than watching movies on Netflix with subtitles while learning English.
