Behaviouralist, cognitivist, or constructivist are the three most practical and efficient learning methods. These learning methods can help people have a clearer understanding of new knowledge and can accept that knowledge faster.
First of all, different language environments are a big challenge for me. As an international student, when I came to Victoria in the first year, different languages and learning styles had some impact on me. At that time, I deeply remember a section of social science that helped me a lot. Since there were many international students in that class, the professor intended to pair each international student and local student in a group. This decision has forced international students to communicate with local students a lot, which has greatly helped our speaking ability. Also, most local students are willing to communicate with us and help us, although there are some difficulties in communication between us. The reason why I enjoy this learning process is that this grouping not only made me the first Canadian friend but also made me feel the friendliness and kindness of the people here.
Constructivism is one of the most effective ways of learning in my mind. When I was still in the language center, I was taught some information about Salmon reflow by using a study method which called constructivist. In order to give us a clearer understanding of salmon reflow; the English teacher took us to a field trip. The guide there not only explained the reasons for the return of salmon, the route, and the process of fish seedling growth. To give us a better understanding of salmon’s body structure, the tour guide even dissected a salmon that had just died. I was very impressed with the travel experience. If I only learned through books or videos, my impression of salmon return would definitely not be clear.
