Question

Some people believe that intelligence (智力) decides a student’s success. But there is no research to support this opinion, and in fact, it is wrong. Students’ success or failure is finally decided by one simple thing: the ways of they’re learning. Some students are lucky when they find ways that are helpful for them to study. But not all students are so lucky. Some students still learn in ways that are not scientific.

Dr. James J. Asher showed a method called “Total Physical Response (反应)” as a way to teach languages. Studies at San Jose State University showed that students who moved their bodies while learning English learned more words and grammar in a short time. Those who sat still and didn’t move learned less. After a year, the students who learned by moving their bodies still remembered 80% or more of what they had learned, while the others forgot over 80%.

So you should make sure that you keep moving when you learn English. As you listen to a story or an article, do the action. For example, if you hear the word “go”, move your feet. Imagine you are acting out the story or article that you are listening to. By doing this, you will be able to learn more English, remember it for longer and use it more easily.
