English is known to be language of the globe as majorities of countries in the world apply it as official second language. Also learning a new language, it is always a brilliant idea as it provides incredible benefits, taking under consideration even globally the brightest students can sometimes find themselves academically underperforming, often through no fault of their own. When students find themselves stuck in these kind of situation and feel uncomfortable and not being sure what to do or and how to improve their current situation. If this sounds like that, then we must find out the reasons why students may be underperforming, and then next step could be how to tackle the problem. As in few circumstances students are not sure how to go about it, so this topic has been designed to indicate what to or how to have better performance and help students achieve the deserved grades and results and by upgrading their language communication. In today's developments world is facing so many challenges in improving quality of education and learning, as students in few parts of the world are demotivated and leaning activity has fallen rapidly and considerably. As seeing nowadays students do not see studies as their first priority due to old methods and strategies being applied by teachers as result of that students' interest has declined. Therefore, this phenomenon has been thought and analyzed for dozens of years by corresponding experts that these old methods need to be taken out of usage as they are weakening students and student's learning has marked disadvantages in developing their skills. According to Novak (1998), "traditional teaching is concerned with the teacher being the controller of the learning environment" (p.24-25). Therefore, the method most often used is the teacher-fronted instruction. The applied of old system of teaching is not being considered to be successful, and at the same time there were conducted different research methods in order to find out what caused this decline of learning quality and actual demotivation caused. Authors Russell L. Ackoff and Daniel Greenberg (2008) point out that "today's education system is seriously flawed, it focuses on teaching rather than learning" (para.l) and this has been thought very carefully as what could be done more to change this flow and to bring new methods out with purpose to advance quality of education. | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=20926 |
