Online Study Tips

Pre-Intermediate 3: Online Introduction Class

In this activity we'll look at some ways to help us study online.

Read and listen to the tips and write your own ideas at the end.

Tip 1: Create a study space

- It's scientifically proven that it's easier to remember information when you are in the same place you learnt it.

- Find a tidy, comfortable, quiet area in your house, and study there.

- Keep away from distractions like TV!

Tip 2: Take notes

- Taking notes improves how you understand information and boosts critical thinking.

- It helps you take external information from your teacher, analyze it, and remember it.

Tip 3: Set goals for what you're studying.

- Setting a goal means making a plan for what you want to achieve.

- Ask yourself what you want to do in your course each day. 

E.g. What grammar am I learning?  What vocabulary am I learning?  Did I learn it?

Tip 4: Do one thing at a time

- Studying without a teacher in the room is difficult because they cannot guide you like in a 'real' classroom.

- In an online class you must guide yourself more, and learn more independently.

- Don't try to do too much. Focus on one activity at a time.

Tip 5: Take breaks

- Learning online can be difficult and stressful. 

- The work will challenge you, but the technology will too.

- If something doesn't work or doesn't make sense, take  a rest and come back to it later.
