Learning English is actually the most practical way to master English and to go and live in an area or English-speaking countries. Improving your ability to English skills quickly and accurately takes a great deal of practice. However, you don’t have to learn the materials that or ones that contain words and concepts you aren’t interested in. Once you know the basic elements of the English language, you can select from a wide variety of reading materials, including different methods of presentation. Here are a few uniquely effective technique to master English.
Firstly, Learning from native speakers to hear and practice is more effective than starting with learning grammar. But I am not saying that you do not have to learn grammar. Because, not all people have a chance to move abroad. The bottom line is willing to practice, and should be started with more listening. When our ear already familiar with English, usually the tongue follow.
One of the tips of the easiest and cheapest is to learn to practice with English-speaking tourists. Tourists now do not only visit Bali, many other areas that also became tourists. Well this is an opportunity for direct practice. You can start with the acquaintance, probably the first topic of the origin, how long to stay in Indonesia, where he lives, and offer assistance according to your ability. Usually tourists are not arrogant like to chat. Do the conversation as best he could, one also does nothing, but it is important for listening to sentences spoken with great concentration. This listening experience will make you continue to remember the words he was saying. Another advantage when you become a good listener, your tourist friends that also will consider you as a friend a fun chat. Do not hesitate to ask if you do not understand, saying that your English is not too good, he must understand and be happy to teach you. You remember Tarzan? See Jane is so happy to communicate with her even though haltingly. The important thing here is sincerity.
Another important thing is do not assume that English-speaking tourists are a god for modern and you far behind him. This will cause a gap that is not fun. All people are basically the same, it's just a different language and English happens to already be the international language. So, let alone with confidence.
Moreover learn English as a foreign language is more difficult than any other skills, especially writing. That’s why we have to k now the effcective technique to be master in writing. As a a non-native person, we must remember a large number of rules in structure which are quite different from our own language. In this case, the learner must figure out the differences themselves and even outline some rules to convert from their own language to the target language. Eventhough, in fact people are often known to spend less time to write than to listen, to speak and even to listen. Learners learning the language in their country are proved to read more than any other skills while learners learning overseas must listen to the language most of their time. In any cases, they spend little of their time for writing. It is clearly known that an average person spend the most for listening, the second most for speaking, then reading and finally writing.
For example, when students of English as a foreign language write something, they have a big question in mind whether what they write is correct or incorrect. Who can answer the question for them and help them recognize the mistakes. It is, in many cases, the teacher who is teaching them and is ready to give them a hand. The problem however I want to mention is that the teacher does not have enough time to correct for all of them if there are more than ten students in the class. When the teacher corrects the writing for just some of them, the other students cannot recognize their own mistakes. Without correction, the mistakes may be repeate many times and become bad habits which are hard to adjust.
What should a teacher do if their students get bored? Using varitype games can be an alternative solution to handle this problem. Games, as a matter of fact, can help and encourage many students to sustain their interest and work. By this paper, the writer wants to share experiences about “how to teach English vocabulary using games”.
There is a common perception that all learning should be serious and solemn in nature and that if one is having fun and there is hilarity and laughter, then it is not really learning.

Games can help the teachers to create contexts in which the language is useful and meaningful. In the whole process of teaching and learning by games, the students can take part widely and open-mindedly. To win the games each student or group should competitively answer the questions addressed by the teacher or other students or groups. In order to do so they must understand what the teacher or others are saying or have written, and they must speak or write in order to express their own point of view or give information

So, to motivate them teacher needs something new that can stimulate their curiosity.
With the current analysis on communication in teaching language, using games appears to hold a solution for many teachers. The communication activities somehow involves in a varied use of language.
It had been found in many schools, teacher use games activities as their teaching aid. The students really appreciate any kind of activities which provide excitement and fun.
