If you want to learn English, the classroom is not the best place to learn the language. Think about when children learn to speak. Typically the child's parents or guardians teach it through acquisition. James Paul Gee defines acquisition in his story “What is Literacy” as “…a process of acquiring something unconsciously through exposure to models and a process of trial and error, without a formal teaching process. It occurs in natural contexts that are meaningful and functional, meaning the buyer knows they need to acquire the thing they are exposed to in order to function, and the buyer actually wants to function that way. This is how people come to control their first language.” (Damn, 107) This, miraculously, is why, for most children, their first word is usually mommy or daddy. I'm sure it wasn't because they decided when they were little to pick up a book and read the word mom or dad. Generally, parents constantly reiterate that they are mom or dad. This creates the natural subconscious environment which Gee believes must be where most of the learning happens, eventually the child figures it out and spits out the word. Even when you become old enough to venture to school, it is the teacher's job to teach you to read and write. In reality, however, English is much more than reading and writing in the strict sense. To fully understand the English language, it must be taught through acquisition. Not only will you learn English more efficiently, but you will also be introduced to the social rules of English that are not talked about in class.
