    Planning your English learning

    Have you ever made a study plan for your English learning? These tips
    will help you effectively plan your study time.
    How a study plan can help you achieve your goals
    Are you one of those very organised people, who loves planning
    everything in advance and making to-do lists?
    Or are you a spontaneous type, who prefers to improvise and decide
    things at the last minute?
    Maybe you're somewhere between the two.
    Whether you're a natural planner or not, having some kind of plan for
    your English learning will help you focus and achieve your goals. It may
    well save you time and reduce stress too.
    So what should we think about when making a study plan, and how
    exactly do we do it?
    What are your goals?
    So, you're here! Learning English … But what exactly are you
    working towards? An exam? A new job? Perhaps your dream is to speak
    English fluently.
    It's really important to identify your goals before you start making your
    plan.
    For example, if you're starting a new job where you'll need to write a lot
    of emails in English, you may feel the need to improve your writing skills.
    If you're working towards an exam, you'll want to practise answering the
    sort of questions that you'll have on the day.
    If your aim is to converse fluently in English, practising your speaking
    skills is important. And listening skills are important too.
    Be realistic with the time you think you'll need to reach your goals.
    Nobody becomes fluent overnight! It's no secret that learning a language
    takes time and effort.
    Breaking big goals down into smaller goals makes them easier to
    manage and achieve.
    How much time have you got?
    There's no point planning ten hours a week on your English
    learning if you don't have that much time to spare.
    If you aren't realistic with your plan, you may well get annoyed and
    depressed. And you're more likely to give up.
    Take your learning one step at a time. Think about how much time you
    can realistically spend on your English each day of the week.
    Are there times that you could build some English practice into your
    daily routine? For example, listening to English audio or using an English
    learning app when you are on the bus to work.
    Look at your calendar and notice the times in each day when you could
    do something for your English.
    What resources are available to you?
    Do you have a teacher? A textbook? A conversation partner? Apps
    or websites for learning English? A streaming platform for watching
    series and films?
    Your plan will largely depend on the people and things that can help you.
    How do you write a study plan?
    If you have lessons with a teacher, these will probably be already
    in your calendar.
    To really make the most of these lessons, plan enough time to do any
    homework that your teacher sets. And allow time to read over your
    lessons, review the vocabulary, grammar, etc. Put this in your calendar
    next.
    For the rest of the time, you could put specific activities in your plan. For
    example, 'listen to an English podcast', 'online conversation with my
    classmate', 'use a learning app', 'watch an episode of a series in English'.
    Or, you may just prefer to put 'listening practice' or 'vocabulary' and
    decide exactly what activity to do when the time comes.
    Whichever way you do it, remember your goals and what is important
    for you to practise.
    It's a good idea to review your goals and your study plan from time to
    time to see if it's working. Perhaps your goals have changed since you
    began.
    What happens if you don't stick to the plan?
    If you miss a day of learning on your app, don't worry about it! If
    you're short of time, you can always use the time you planned for
    something 'non-essential', like watching a series, to catch up on
    important things like homework.
    Sometimes it feels good to go with the flow. For example, you see
    an English article that you're really interested in. Read it while you're in
    the mood! A friend suggests going to see an English film together. Go for
    it! Looking through your vocabulary notebook can wait.
    So, really it's up to you. Organise your English learning time with a
    carefully written plan, or plan the important things and decide the
    details spontaneously. But don't leave it all to chance. Just a little bit of
    planning pays off with more learning opportunities and faster progress.
    Happy planning!
