- How Travelers Can Practice English Before the Trip
Knowing English can help in an emergency. English could save your life if you happen to be in an emergency situation. A friend of mine who is Sri Lankan was traveling in Nepal when the April 2015 Nepal earthquake hit. He had trouble finding his wife after the earthquake, so he used English to communicate with others to look for her. After several days, he finally found her, and wrote a very thankful letter to all of the people who had helped him.
In moments like that, knowing how to speak English can be very important to communicating the right details in an international travel situation. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens to you, but it is best to be prepared. Learning English will also make you more confident. When checking into your hotel or attending an international conference, knowing English will make you less shy and not worried. It will be easier to make friends, share your ideas or have a stress-free vacation. Learning English for traveling will only improve the way you understand the world, and help open new opportunities for you.[2] How Travelers Can Practice English Before the Trip?Here are some useful tips and fun ways to practice the English you’ll need in your travels. Tips for Learning New English WordsYou might try to learn as many new words as quickly as possible, but take your time. Start with 5-10 new words a day, and learn them well. 1.Use vocabulary lists that will be most helpful for travel, like this one. 2.Write down your 5-10 daily words on flashcards, with the definition (or image) on the back side. Review the flashcards throughout the day. Take them with you to work, and put them around your house in places where you can see them. When you see a flashcard, make up a sentence using that word, but make sure it’s something you might actually say while traveling. Say it aloud. For example, for the term “queen bed,” you might say “I’d like to book a queen bed for three nights, please.” (Note: A queen bedcan comfortably fit two people.) The verbal (speaking) practice is very useful. If you’re traveling with others, role play. Act out situations (checking into a hotel, at the airport, asking directions) and use your new words as you act out common travel scenarios. In this article, we discussed the issues of travelling abroad, methods to enhance communicative skills and other ways of overcoming language divide. So, the aim of this article: “to find the best way of enhancing communicative skills in English and prove that travelling abroad can be considered one of the means of speaking skills development” was achieved as we showed that travelling abroad can give positive results and lead to the improvement of communicative competence and speaking skills development. Learning English through using new trends and travelling and working abroad makes people willing to learn the language, develop their ability to speak fluently and help them overcome language divide. So learning a language while travelling the world is an amazing way to gain new experiences and quickly turn your language skills up a notch. The biggest benefit about practicing language while in a country where it’s the native language is the immersion you experience. Everywhere you go you are greeted with an opportunity to listen and speak in your chosen language. It is these opportunities that you must cherish and avoid falling back to using English or your own native tongue. Whether you learn with the help of a course or on your own, ensure you let go of your inhibitions and just explore the country and its language to the fullest! Download 17.07 Kb.
