What are the factors affecting how a person may learn English in the UK?

Does what you learn in English courses in the UK influence the language you speak outside the classroom? It may depend on the English school in London that you attend, as every English language school in London may not have the same teaching style to help students learn English in the UK or use the same methods to teach students. Depending on the teaching style, some students may have an easier time learning while taking English courses in the UK.

What do some schools do differently that may influence how a student learns English? Did you know how we speak in the classroom and even outside the classroom reflects not only what we may believe, but the process in which we arrive at our thoughts? For instance, some foreign students, studying at an English language school in London, may for example change the meaning of a sentence by changing what they perceive.

Why language concepts change verbal meaning of Speech

Did you know that some languages are complicated to learn because they require students to determine which noun to use for an action, based on time, the gender of the person and whether they personally witnessed an event or simply heard about it? This is why students from other countries may struggle with their own native languages and it may be harder for them to learn English in the UK through an English language school in London that uses an integrative approach when teaching English courses in the UK.

Linguistic differences may change how a person perceives the meaning in words. This may explain why not every student taking English courses in the UK describes their experience the same. It also may explain why a person’s perception may influence the English that is spoken. Linguists tested students by showing them photos in which people had other people purposely or accidentally bump into them spilling their drink. Many Japanese and Spanish students didn’t remember the drinks accidentally spilling because there was no agent in the sentence to assign the action to. An English speaker by comparison would make note of an accidental occurrence or say that the drink itself spilled, without assigning an agent.

How does culture affect someone’s English in the UK?

It may mean there is a spatial change in how someone interprets words such as a "few" or many. Did you know at least one tribe in Australia uses numbers to describe instead of words. They do not have a word to relay the meaning of a few in English, if speaking in their own language. How might this change learning English in several English courses in UK or at an accredited English language school in the UK?

This may give an insight into why culturally many students struggle learning English at an English language school in the UK. This also may explain why students, taking the same English courses in the UK, may describe the same events differently. How a person describes events may indicate their cultural difference. Cultural differences experienced in English language courses in the UK may be caused by causality, space, time, and even patterns of thought at an English language school in London.
