Don’t die on the Plateau

Curiosidades do idioma, In English, Motivação e Desmotivação Por: Alessandro em 10/11/2006

When you are beginning to study English, everything is new: your day to day progress is noticeable. in this phase everything motivates you: the new words, sentences, the grammar rules and so on. After a while the initial motivation fades, you can’t learn at the same speed as before. This leads you to believe that your studies are not worth it, and causes you to give up.

However, this lessening of the pace is totally normal and has a scientific explanation. It is called a learning plateau.The learning plateau is actually the time that your brain spends consolidating what you have already learned. The feeling of being at standstill is temporary and an illusion, If you persist, soon you will move onto the next higher level. You are actually learning during this period, but just don’t realize it.

One way to overcome the learning plateaus is by setting small goals. For instance: trying to master the vocabulary of a complicated text, periodically taking tests to see the progress you’ve made, keeping a journal of your difficulties and consulting it periodically.

This is pretty interesting. So, now that you know about it, don’t make yourself crazy like the Crazy Frog, “don’t die on the Plateau”.

Keep in touch.

Thanks to: Mary Ziller

    Hi Deniz,

    The Learning Plateau becomes a problem when you don’t know how to contend with it.

    Thank you for your kind comment. You are really lovely.

    See you

    Artigo perfeito para mim. Estou me sentindo neste plateau, comecei a estudar inglês há mais ou menos 10 meses atrás, meu level atual é intermediário avançado, me dediquei e dedico bastante, mas parece que agora está “empacado”. Já domino bem a gramática, leio rapidamente e parece que não estou aprendendo mais nada. Minha compreensão auditiva parece não melhorar nada. Existe mais alguma dica, além das do artigo, para escapar deste maldito plateau? Ficare muit grata.
