Building positive habits is beneficial to acquiring and retaining a new language. By treating English as a source of fun or entertainment students may develop their listening and speaking skills. This can be achieved with English books they enjoy reading, television, movies or even video games during leisure time. Encourage students to share what they have learned about in class.
