*Homework and study excluded must be real communicative use of English. **English teachers excluded.

B. How could you get more practice using English outside of class?
GO ON TRY IT. At some point, students of English have to become users of English if theyre really going to learn the language. For some people theres no choice and no problem from early on they have to use the language regularly for study or work. But others dont and they need to look for or create opportunities to use English outside of class. This is essential for progress beyond elementary level. If you are an intermediate level student of English who doesnt use English outside of class, its time to change. Its time to become a real user! One thing you can easily do is to read and listen to English. Anyone can find English language newspapers, magazines and even books to read, or music and videos to listen to and watch. As you practice your English, you can pursue your interests, and get a better idea of how foreigners view the world. You may disagree with some of those views, but its better to know what other are up to in this global world! The real problem is being able to interact with other people in English. But there are ways. Through Internet chat rooms you can now have conversations with people all over the world. There are still ways to establish traditional pen-pal relationships if youre a traditionalist. And in most places you can find at least a few foreigners who speak English (remember, its not only Anglo-Saxons who speak English). If you really want to, you can use English.
