VI Международная студенческая научная конференция Студенческий научный форум - 2014

In our rapidly developing world it is very important to keep up with the times, that is to be modern. Who is the modern man? In my opinion, the modern man is the one who adapts easily to all new, the person who easily learns new technologies and continuously engaged in self-education. Sign of human thinking and understanding the world around us is the constant pursuit of new knowledge, skills, broaden their outlook. Also, modern man must be fluent in English language. Several years ago, English was perceived as foreign. But over time, the role of English has increased so much that it is now considered worldwide international. Learning English for most of us becomes almost the biggest problem in life, not so much on the process of learning, and also from the lack of time and effort.

Why English? English - language for international communication, the language of business. English proficiency is required for a successful career. Most of the interesting and necessary literature is written in English. We have to wait for the translation, which, as you know, has the ability to distort information and convey the author's thought in its entirety. All international competitions and conferences are held in English, most of the computer programs are in English.

So how should modern man, who does not have time and energy to attend special courses and lessons, learn English? Modern man needs to educate English themselves with the help of the internet resources. If we compare the traditional education, ie in the presence of a teacher or mentor, with self-education, the second will always be more effective than the first. Why? Because knowledge acquired independently of experience, which is based on our own research, mistakes and discoveries, priceless, they become part of a person on the path of cultivation. All that a man achieves self, not only better deposited in memory, it translates very identity and easier to bear out the theory to practice.

So, if the need of self-education as part of the personality has become obvious to you, there appears a question, " but from what actually begin? ". Practical advice in this area are only advices, as you can choose a convenient form for getting new knowledge. But before you begin, you need to determine for themselves more or less specific purpose, otherwise your "journey" for knowledge can be endless. Then you need to develop an action plan to include comfortable for you teaching methods and sources of information. The most affordable and convenient way is using Internet resources.

How to learn English with the help of the internet? Let's look at options such as: special websites and blogs devoted to the study of English. In the Internet you may find a lot of them, for example: http://abc-english-grammar.com/, http://www.letslearnenglish.co.uk/, http://www.busuu.com/, http:// www.homeenglish.ru/, http://begin-english.ru/ and so on. In Http://abc-english-grammar.com/ page you'll find 76 sections, such as English on Skype; dialogues in English; broadcast on Voice of America + text to them; the English Chat; download more than 160 tutorials, 711 video lessons, as well as audio recordings; materials to improve knowledge of business English, as well as find a program for your Smartphone that works both online and offline; movies, cartoons , TV shows , advertising in English; download the book and discover for correspondence in English with native speakers or the same person as you are, who is studying English online. The page as http://lingualeo.com/ provides the best video transfer, a fascinating exercise to consolidate the study, as well as everyday tasks. This page is good because it has a Smartphone app, which you can use in any free time while you are traveling on public transport, waiting queue or anyone either, and so on.

If you still can not raise the level of English language skills , you can improve the efficiency of self-education using the following tips:

1. Determine the purpose. If your purpose statement forms like " to learn the psychology of age " , then most likely you are " extramural student " and you are not self-educating, you are self-studying the subject . The purpose of self must be associated with changes in your personality and the goal you need to look after a few questions , 'Why ? '. For example, "learn the psychology of the age " - " for what? " If the answer is - " to finish college and get a degree ," it can not be the goal of self , as the diploma is an external attribute (that is the purpose of admission to the university ) . If the answer is " to be the best expert on the psychology of adolescence in N.», then no doubt that you will be searching lectures or recommended textbook for additional material, to stick with you, etc. ie you will educate yourself, the purpose of which is outside the process of acquiring knowledge.

2. Make a plan for self-education. Plan - is a list of actions, which is taken to achieve the goal. Without a plan, you can get lost in the wilds of information, that must appear on your path of purposeful movement.

3. Create your own motivation. You will not always be experiencing a burning desire " to gnaw granite of science" . Often you will think about the insignificance of what you are doing. You will be having the idea that everything in this world is perishable and not worth your Herculean effort. To prevent this condition (learned men called him apathy), one must not only consider reasonable alternation of work and rest, but also the motivation system immediately after a plan of self-education.

4. Master the techniques of mnemonics. Mnemonics is the art of remembering. Quickly and accurately remembering - these are ones of the main conditions for effective self- education. Mnemonic techniques let you effortlessly transfer into long-term memory verses, foreign words, formulas, lists of words, terms, definitions and other information that you need to remember verbatim. Pay attention to the word "art". The presence of the word means that for mastering techniques mnemonics must use creative abilities. We must remember that the use of mechanical mnemonics do more harm than good.

5. Implement in your normal routine of the day a system of exercises designed to develop the memory. Memory development has very little to do with the above mnemonics, which does not affect on the physiological basis of memory. The development of memory akin to the development of endurance, speed, etc. The most important things are regularity, duration and sequence of exercises. If you want to move quickly, worked out one day, you can get hold of cycling, and your movement speed will increase by several times. Similarly, learning language one day, you can get hold one of the mnemonics and tricks from the first reading to memorize a few dozen words in a strict sequence. However, as you can not always use the bike, so you will not always be able to use mnemonics. This particularly applies to those who have not developed imagination or visual memory is not the leading type of memory.

6. Master the skills of time management. Self-education needs additional time - it is an axiom. But time is a limited resource, so you need to learn how to allocate this resource so that none of the important aspects of your life are not left out.

7. Examine ways to intelligent information processing perceived. All information necessary to realize, understand, ie it must be handled intelligently (one of the easiest and effective ways - charting the text). Machining ("cramming", repeated reading, etc.) has a very distant relationship to self- education.

8. Increase speed reading. Remember: increasing reading fast is not necessary to "gulp" textbooks. Speed reading task is to provide a quick overview of the material (scan) for further intelligent information processing.

9. Use the potential of information and communication technologies and digital technologies. Unify whole phone, laptop, home and work computers (if possible, add to this scheme car, iron and juice). You must constantly, no matter where you are, should have access to the information you are studying at this particular point in time.

10. Create favorable conditions for effective mental activity. Such conditions include: lighting, background sounds, smells, order on the desktop (in computer , in the records, etc.) , the optimal regime of work and rest, etc.

11. Develop attention and thinking. Do it so regularly, systematically, even while in public transport, cleaning the apartment, boring and useless meetings, sowing campaign in the garden, etc.

12. Find (or create) a community on the topic of self-education .

13. Use the principle of " learned – applied, unless it’s not applied – so it is not studied ."

14. Learn how to turn new knowledge into money. If you learned about some topic of self-education for 10 books more than the average resident of your city, region, area, in the relation to this "average" resident you are an expert. Around the world for a very long time taken to pay for the services of an expert. Of course, you need to make a specific list of activities to show you as an expert.

15. Write a book on the topic studied. Algorithm of writing is: saying to a Dictaphone (on the phone or to the computer) everything you think is important in your subject of self- education, type in a text editor that uttered; laid out in any program 50-100 pages in the book - and the book is ready!

16. Master the skills of "touch typing". This skill will not only help in the implementation of paragraph 15, but also dramatically increase your literacy in terms of spelling errors. Between "blind stamp" and spelling, there 's a connection.

17. Constantly raise erudition, solve crossword puzzles, participate in contests, show intellectual tricks to friends, colleagues, children, etc.

18. Develop an automated system of repetitions, for example, you learned about another batch of English words. To all the words went into long-term memory, they need to be repeated in six months (at least) six times. Automating such repetitions can be using your computer or a variety of online services.

19. Use your workplace for realization of the plan. This is not a call to ignore your duties. If you fill a meaningless errand the chief gave, ie perform the job, taking into account the goals of self- education, the quality of work is provided. [1]

Self-education has strengths and weaknesses. Above we considered the strengths of self-education, so let us now consider its weaknesses. Self weaknesses are: lack of tutor, feedback, unsystematic. Often, however, they are compensated by strong parties, such as bearing down what John Dewey called stemming from the school organization unproductive waste of energy; addressing individual approach, motivation and awareness exercises.

In conclusion, I would like to say that self-study of the subject requires a vision of life in the sense of teaching; conscious goal setting, skills for independent thinking, self-organization and self-control. This makes it impossible for many people, especially for children. However, since adolescence self may be systematic and very effective. More John Locke saw the goal of education is not to make a young man scientist, and the development and direction of his mind, to make it able to perceive any knowledge when he wishes to purchase it. D. I. Pisarev believed that currently there is only self- education, and that it starts when a person says good- bye to all schools. [2]
