English is one of the official languages of the United Nations Organization and other political organizations. It is the language of literature, education, modern music and international tourism. Do you want to know how to learn English effectively? If so, you are not alone. In fact, there are many people out there today who are working to learn English as a second language. No matter what the reason is that you are learning English, you want to make sure that you can learn it quickly and effectively as well. Whether you are learning English in a class, on your own, or with language teaching software, there are certain things that you can do to make sure that you learn the language effectively. Learning English as a second language is challenging no matter what learning materials you use. According to Mary Masterson of Georgia State University, "the text, graphics, video, and audio [of multimedia] encourage immersion in language." Whether you plan to use a CD to practice English listening or a computer program to learn new grammar and vocabulary techniques, there are a number of ways that you can use technology to learn English. Instructions: Get an English language program for your computer or smartphone. Programs such as Rosetta Stone, Clarity and EC ESL Resources offer ESL training in reading, writing, speaking and listening. These programs allow you to move at your own pace, practicing and mastering one concept before you go on to another. The development of speech recognition software and headsets that include microphones has made this type of software even more effective. Programs for your smartphone, such as PencilBot for iPhone and iPad, allow you to practice English on the go, whether you are on your morning bus commute or standing in line at a department store. Because the more you are immersed in the English language, the easier English language learning becomes, these technologies that allow you to have access to English no matter where you go are very beneficial. Indeed, Renee Ybarra's article in the Internet TESL Journal notes that computers can improve or expedite many facets of English language learning.

Listen to or view English language programming on a CD, DVD or iPod. Whether you are listening to audio specially developed for English language learning or simply material in the English language, you are improving your English skills. According to the Online Education Database, one valuable resource for ESL students are the numerous free ESL podcasts available on the Web. You may also listen to or view English TV shows, movies and music in order to test your own pronunciation against the speaker's or practice your comprehension skills. Listen to English. By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you cant see the person that is speaking to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice. Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. Watching English Films and Television are not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. According to Mary Masterson, "The common technologies of television and videotapes are valuable learning tools, when used appropriately. With previewing, viewing, and postviewing activities included, a wide array of activities can be used with video and television that provide both auditory and visual language experiences." Set your technological devices to English as the default language. Computers, phones, MP3 players, GPS systems and other technologies allow users to select from a list of languages. When you select English, you not only further immerse yourself in the English language, but you also provide yourself with a quick, practical and challenging ESL exercise whenever you need to use one of your devices. Use the Internet to engage in self-study and communicate with English speakers across the globe. According to the ESL Teachers Board, the Internet provides many options for selfstudy, as you can plan your own course by determining what you want to learn. You can also find English-speaking study partners by visiting chat rooms and participating in forums related to your interests. When you post in a forum, ask other members for help with your English, and youll be surprised how many respond. In addition, you can use video chatting to practice pronunciation with English speakers. Listen to native speakers as much as possible. There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.

Take formal classes online by enrolling in an online college or university that offers ESL classes or hiring a professional private tutor. Distance learning courses such as these allow you to have the formalized instruction of an expert while keeping your flexible, learn-fromanywhere schedule.
