At Dela Cruz English Club, our primary aim is for our learners to “Speak in English” rather than to study the language structure and to achieve perfect grammar.
In order to attain this, we employ an innovative approach, a process based on how children acquired words.
The DCEC method is similar to how children begin to speak or utter words or phrases.
They do this by mimicking what their parents say.
With this conversational technique, our competent instructors strive to build our learners’ vocabulary and focus on speaking and listening skills.
Grammatical and spelling mistakes are common for beginners, so language learners are encouraged not to be disheartened.
Gradually, the learner gains confidence and fast tracks his/her English communication skills to a level he/she desires.
- ・Read Japanese translation and get the image of the sentence.
- ・Listen to the CD attentively to what is being said during commute.
- ・Read aloud the text repeatedly. Try to mimic the words; do not focus on grammar at all.
- ・Practice in class.
- •Too much focus on grammar and accent inhibits people to have a smooth conversation.
- •Be accustomed to use the language in a natural manner so as to be able to speak it without thinking of grammar or intonation.
- •Use the right brain. This hemisphere works intuitively and assigns an image to an object. It functions faster than the left brain
- It is not easy to become a good English speaker. There is no easy road to mastering English conversation.
One should not expect to become a perfect speaker after finishing just one textbook. One must clarify his/her target.
Set concrete goals and work hard to achieve it.
Remember that English study becomes enjoyable when it is applied to concrete situations.
Perfecting grammar and sentence construction may not guarantee proficiency in conversational English.
