My English Language Learning Journey

I grew up in Singapore and I was exposed to English since young. Hence that is where my English language learning journey started. Since young, my exposure to English language is rather limited as I usually converse in Mandarin with my friends and family.

English is a global language and Singapore, being a multi-racial society, requires one to be able to converse well in English. This is because it will allow better communication across different cultures. Therefore, I started exposing myself by speaking more English as I understand that having the ability to write and communicate in proper English will certainly be an added advantage to my studies and work.

My latest English language learning experience was 3 months ago, which I took the module ES2002 “Business Communications” in my previous semester. In this module, I was taught on interpersonal skills and how to speak confidently and persuasively during presentations. I also learnt how to write a proper report which is an essential skill needed in the workplace. My lecturer gave me useful feedback which allows me to work on my areas of improvement. I am also positive that upon completing ES1102, I will certainly gain valuable knowledge in English writing.
