Nowadays, more and more foreign students are going to English-Speaking countries to learn the “international language – English". It is undoubtedly true that studying English in an English-speaking country is the best way, but it is not the only way to learn it. Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

There is no debate that being in a real English language environment will help anyone to master the language in the fastest and most effective way and many international students prefer to go to English-speaking countries to study and learn the international language. I agree that this is a good way, yet students can learn English in other useful ways and those can be even better than the first approach. Being in an English speaking country helps students learn English in many ways. Firstly, the 1surroundingssurroundings and environment influence our learning. We are forced to speak, 2read, writeread write, and 3we gradually start thinkingslowly we start even thinking in English since we have to. 4Secondly, quick learning of the language can become a strong motivation because, in turn, we will get quick feedback that lets us find what we learn really benefits us in life and education. This inspires us to continue to learn more. 5It’s a positive reinforcement Learning builds on progressively. The initial learning serves as the basis for further learning. Thirdly, in an English-speaking country, you will be learning from the life and culture 6that are not available outside that countrywhich is not present off that land. However, in this age of cross-7culturalculture communication 8and the Internetand Internet, learning English in an English-speaking country is not the only way. The English language learning opportunities are available in many countries. 9Nowadays, peopleNowadays people are able to find various ways of learning the English language in their home country that are 10highly effectivehighly effective and productive.

For instance, one can make use of the vast 13collectionstorage of materials (video, sound, graphics, etc.) on the Internet to facilitate language study. Sometimes non-English speaking students may need a different approach for learning English. The principle of “different students, different teaching”, 14expressed in a saying attributed to Confuciusby the famous saying by Chinese guru Confucius, maintains that different teaching approaches are useful for different segments of students. The way a foreign student learns a language is quite different from 15that of a native English speakerthose of an English native speaker. 16For example, a foreign student higher level; however, it is unnecessary for a native speaker. 17Last but not leastLast but not the least, on some occasions, 18students may find that teachersstudents may find teachers in their own countries do a better job in 19identifying their specific weaknessesfiguring out their exact weak points and the remedies for them. 20A teacher from a non-English-speaking country understandsA teacher of a non-English country understand 21a student's basic needsthe basic of a student and can combine both the native language and English to make the study plan and this might be more helpful than a native English teacher's approach of studying. In conclusion, I believe studying English in English-speaking country is a good way but in many cases, the other ways can be proven to be more efficient than being in an English speaking country.
