Why Learn English in a Group?

27.12.2017

Are you considering learning English in the new year with YES? Are you deciding between either one-on-one trainings or group trainings (whether privately or through your company)?
 
There are definite pros and cons when learning a language one-on-one or in a group. But there are advantages to learning in a group. Here are just a few:
 
1. Motivation
 
Sometimes it can be very difficult to stay motivated when it's just you doing something. Whether it's going to the gym, eating healthy, or learning a language, it can be hard to stay motivated on your own. If you are participating in group classes, it's easier to stay on track. Other people are there to hold you accountable when it comes to doing your homework, practicing, and even just showing up. If you're someone who needs others to help you stay motivated, then group classes could be the solution for you.
 
2. Creativity
 
Learning in a group can help facilitate your creativity. This is because there are other people there with different personalities and different ways of thinking. It's easy to bounce ideas off each other, and who knows, maybe someone can help you with a word you don't know! Learning in a group can help you find new ways of expressing yourself in another language, which is always helpful to your learning.
 
3. Collaboration
 
Being able to collaborate is a necessary skill for daily life. It's advantageous for all parts of life, but especially for business aspects. If you are learning English one-on-one, the ability to collaborate with others is quite limited. However, if you are studying in a group, you are able to collaborate with other participants in group work that may be assigned by your teacher, as well as helping each other along on your language learning path. Learning in a group can help you improve your collaboration skills, which you can then take into the workplace.
