 You said you've joined a speaking group. Where? Is this online or is this in Vietnam? Yeah, there's a culture house in Ho Chi Minh City and there's a speaking room. Yeah, I join in there every Sunday morning and evening. Okay, and what sort of topics would you speak about in these speaking group sessions? Yeah, anything. There's many kind of topics and we'll talk about the job, life of many things and we'll talk about many things. What do we want to tell? Do you ever Skype with English speakers, let's say, in North America or Australia, Britain? Do you ever practice with native English speakers? No, this is the per time I can talk to you. I know you're on Facebook, yeah. Yeah, nice to talk to you. That would be one suggestion I would have if you are able to talk to, let's say, a Facebook friend or someone who has a friend through Facebook, let's say, in the US or Australia, Canada, who is willing to Skype, maybe someone in your profession or a student or someone who then you can have a conversation about something you're both interested in or something you're both familiar with, then it's not just a made-up conversation about the weather or something like that, but it's what a lot of people are doing now is using Skype just to do conversational practice. Do you feel comfortable doing this? Would you like to try to do that, to connect with other native English speakers elsewhere in the world via Skype? Yeah, I'm a little bit nervous because my vocabulary is not good, it's not not vocabulary to speak to other people. I have no vocabulary to show this foreign idea with them, but I would try. I'm trying. I moved from Thailand since 2005. I am a Canadian citizen. It looks like you're at the mall? Where are you? At the mall, yeah. In Canada? That's funny. Next month, I will come back to English class at school, but for right now, I prepare my English so that I will be a very good English, and I will remember a lot of words in my brain and listening, listening that then I I started listening from VoA. I listen to VoA and it tells me a lot, and after that, I found this website. It's really good. And for right now, I study, today I study at recent 15, and I will be done by 16 for today. I advise them to go through literatures, go through magazines, and get themselves accustomed to those words so that when you want to speak, it's going to be easy for you to just bring out words without thinking twice. Yeah, my name is Nami, and I'm from Vietnam. I'm 17 years old, and I'm a high school student. Okay, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. So our question today is if you had just one hour a day to learn English, how would you spend it? How would you make the best use of that hour? I would spend my time on listening to English, audio, and learning vocabulary, and I write out to a notebook and take words from Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Okay, what sort of audio material would you listen to? Something that interests you, maybe something related to your hobbies, or something that you really need to do for school? What type of material would you listen to, and would it be something that you do at school, or you would do it sometimes at your own time? I just do it sometimes as my hobby. When I have free time, and especially when I have time to learn English, so I listen to audio of VOA or BBC. Do you listen to some songs online, or do you listen to something on TV, maybe, on other media? Oh yeah, I usually listen to Maroon 5's song. Maroon 5. Oh Maroon 5. I usually listen to the song, and then I go on internet and find lyrics. If you had just one hour to learn English every day, how would you spend that hour? What do you think would be the best use of that hour to learn English? What would you do? Well, I guess at the beginning I would read during 15 minutes, then the rest I could watch a video, or I can find out a new word. I have visited a new website, I discovered one of these days that is called It's Western Dictionary. I can find very nice words sometimes, and I learned a lot from there. Okay, when you find a word in the dictionary, do you find the word first, and then try to use it, or do you find it because you find it somewhere in the video or in some text online, and then you want to look it up? I find it first. For example, I am reading and I find a word, I don't know what exactly it means. So I try to find out the internet, how to use it, when, and that's all. And what does it mean? In Iran, I go to English class two days a week, okay? Because now I have a free time, for example, at night and afternoon, I have a free time for learning English. Great. Okay, yes, because I want to go to Otaf Iran for continuing ejection for master, because my major is computer engineer. All right. Yes. No, I want learning English for continuing ejection, because I need the learning English, because I want to get IELTS. To take the IELTS test, yes, sure. Do you have a way to Skype with anyone to practice your English? I don't get you, but I think get I want to learn English with Skype in Iran. Okay? Yes, that's our question. Do you have a way to connect with people through social media? Yes. I have an ID on Facebook and I have an ID Skype and Yahoo. Yes, I have. Okay, so have you made friends? Have you met people online via Skype or Facebook? Maybe we'll have Skype. Yes, that's right. That's right. I'll combine it both. You could talk right through the... Right. Have you met people who you already were able to practice your English with? In Skype? Yes, or Facebook? Yes, I have a friend in Qatar from Iran and I connected with them for learning English. Welcome to talk to us with Yelka and Avi. Good to have you calling. So it's been five months since we last spoke to you. How have you been learning English? What have you been doing to improve your English? I'm just working in my thesis and I do not have any time to work on my general English because I'm doing my thesis and it takes much time and after that I'll do it again. Okay, what is your thesis on? My thesis is about English language teaching. All right. I'm comparing two groups. One is computer based material, English teaching by computer based material and the other English teaching by printed based material. All right. So you're comparing these two methods of teaching. You're probably an ideal... Sorry? In a ruler setting. I see. So you are probably an ideal person to ask this question, right? That's right. Actually, I'm curious. How do you compare print materials in a rural setting? How do you compare learning with print materials versus learning with online materials? Would you please turn your camera off because the quality is going to be low and worse. Okay. So I just turned our camera off. So how do you think those two the two different methods of learning compare? Now, I just compare these two and I gained a very different result according to the previous studies. And so what's your conclusion? Is there one that's better than the other or what's your summary? The previous studies said that English teaching based on computer based materials works better than printed based, okay? All right. But as mine was done in a rural setting as the facilities was not good enough in a rural setting for the students and all the students were engaged with just computer and other computer applications and they do not hate more attention about language teaching and learning. And my result was inconsistent with the other studies.
