The Importance of Valance for Learning Language

 Today's keywords were Valance, Input, and Output.

Valance
 Generally, it is said that important to learn 4 skills, Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking to get good skills for a new language. Then, Valance has a great effect to make the development greater. Especially English education in Japan, reading and writing are focused very much and others are not so much. So many of students can't use English as one of their language well. But Taking Valance is important not only for getting better skill of English but also learning it easily.

Input
 The most famous input method is memorizing words as many as possible. Some people write and some people speak to help them. However, as mentioned above, using only one way is not useful. We need to write with a hand, listen correct pronunciation with  ears, and try mimic the sound with a mouth. Through there combination steps, we can learn more effectively. 
 When you read a English book, checking the level of words you can read is also important. If it was too difficult, you will lose the motivation and give up to understanding a story. The book, more than 95% are constructed by words you know, is the best for developing. 

Output
 This help make getting knowledge everyone learned at input more effective. Summarizing and telling information are good training to check and  remind them. Diary and lecture are constant way to encourage it. In addition, if you make sentence or speech to share the ideas, you can also practice how to use the language correctly and it enable us to get opportunities to use new knowledge in our own words.

 We input a lot of things through lectures at school and  social events everyday now. Therefore, we have to make more opportunities to release the input ideas by myself voluntarily.

  3. I agree. English education in Japan has some problems. We have to figure out how to install Nation's theory into Japanese schools. (Koyo)
