The first, the classroom method is the traditional style, a format of one teacher and multiple students. Instructors provide a great deal of knowledge about grammatical rules, syntax, and verb agreements, presenting the mechanics of the new language. Students, in turn, listen, repeat and are also encouraged to respond in the language being taught and learn from the speaking and mistakes of self and classmates.


But we found a new way to catch the attention! One of the most useful way is debating, it involves your spontaneous participation. Not only this you have to listen to those person who are debating. It sounds interesting! Get the chance to join in this kind of discussion and it could develop your speaking and thinking!
As with learning any language, practice and repetition are essential. When it comes to learning a second language though, the question up for debate poses, “What is the best way to learn?” A comparison of the two most popular methods of teaching and learning show both to be effective approaches.
The second method of learning is the immersion method. This technique is useful when learning an initial language and any additional languages thereafter. The immersion method thrusts the learner into a situation wherein native speakers surround them. This style of learning offers very little, if any, rules an explanation and the ‘picking up’ of the language comes through understanding context, tone, idioms, and absorption.
Debate. Discuss topics in a group. Each person should choose a viewpoint (even if you don’t agree with it) and debate it within the group. Make sure you get your point across. Learn to listen actively. Active listening will help in the classroom and it will help you get more out of, and contribute more to, group study sessions. Focus on the person who is talking. Don’t fidget or become distracted by other people or events. Concentrate on the speaker with your ears and eyes. Follow the movements the speaker makes in an effort to hear more. It may help to repeat what you hear others say in an effort to understand their thoughts.
While both methods have proven effective, the debate remains, which is the best approach? According to a study published by The Public Library of Science, those who learned through immersion not only retained the language, but also showed a native-like processing of grammar. The winner of the debate may lay with the learner. Just as teaching styles differ, so too do those of learners. For some, being fully immersed may help more than a classroom setting ever could. For others, the traditional method may be the key to their second language fluency success.
