Reviewing the Significance of Practice in Learning English as a Second Language

Challenges, Impacts, and Strategies

Abstract

In the globalized world, mastering English as a second language is crucial. However, many learners face a significant obstacle: the lack of practice. This review explores the importance of practice in language acquisition, its role in vocabulary, grammar, and fluency development, and how it connects classroom learning to real-world communication. The author identifies factors contributing to the lack of practice, including limited exposure to native speakers, cultural barriers, and fear of mistakes. This lack has consequences, such as slower progress, communication difficulties, and limited opportunities. To address these challenges, we propose strategies like language exchange programs, diverse English use, authentic materials, technology platforms, and supportive classrooms. The author emphasizes the partnership between educators and learners in fostering practice. In conclusion, practice is essential for learning English. The author calls for collective efforts to bridge the gap between instruction and application, creating an environment where language learners thrive
