The hypothesis of the proposed research is “Learning English language can be easy more of practical than theory”. The probe will be on accessing the available practical teaching methodologies (like swimming) without any books and finding the result. The students in general have the fear of grammar before learning a language. In my observation language can be taught like their mother tongue. A baby learns the language without any grammar or intention. Likewise, language can be taught and grammar may be corrected later which is my argument. When a grocery store keeper acquires the language easily (practical learning), students miserably fail to communicate even after 15 years of study approximately. (Preschool, School, College) Almost everybody forgets the subject we studied either in school or college but we remind how to play chess or cycling. In my firsthand knowledge along with teaching experience I have observed that English is taught as a subject rather than a language. As a result, it is decided to probe into this practical method of teaching English to ESL learners.
To be an effective ESL teacher, we need to know the individual needs of the student. We need a friendly relationship with each student, so that they are more willing to ask on what they do not know or understand. It's good to get them to keep a diary on what they have learned, and what they still do not understand and need clarification. Speaking is very important, and we should encourage students to speak simple sentences. Mistakes should be treated as opportunities for improvement. (At one time, it was the American Peace Corps who came to this country to teach us English, and they did a good job. Accent is not a barrier.)
