English Skill

The Academic English & Study Skills course

Reflective writing

English is now considered to be this international language of the modern world. Consequently, more and more students want to learn English to improve their job prospects. This has led to i coming to the UK to study at Teesside University where i can gain my degrees and improve my language skills at the same time.Learning English can be a very difficult task for most people, this is because we dont live in a environment where we are forced to speak or write English. so i think the best way to learn English is by communicating with others using the lagnguage itself and not just learn from the book.

Everyone can learn to be a good student. Some people think it will come naturally, but the

principles of using academic skills efficiently is what makes you a good or better student. In

this assignment, we will contemplate the academic skills we need to develop in order to

succeed in our degree and analyse which of these are particularly important in a group

research project such as the one I have carried out lately. On an other hand, I will critically

reflect on the various skills I have improved during my participation in this group project

and make a summary of what I discovered about the particular issue I’ve been investigating.

As I said above, “good students are made, not born”. Academic skills and practices can help

us all to be an effective learner and develop the research skills that will help us to be more

successful when studying. What do I want from academic skills is to be taught effective

strategies, skills, and techniques to enable me to listen, note-take, read write and present

concise assignments using the gathered information.

Learning English just like learning any other language, is hard work so my first advice is to spend much time practicing using English every day. Besides, we should listen to the teacher and take notes carefully in class. Go over what is learnt...
