A、To teach students how to communicate with native speakers. B、To introduce a few techniques to be successful language learners.

Some people seem to have a talent for learning languages.  They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at them, we may discover a few techniques.
    First of all, successful language learners are independent learners.  They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language.  They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.  When they guess wrong, they guess again.  They try to learn from mistakes.
    Successful language learning is active learning.  Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance.  They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things.  It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
    Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose.  They learn the language because they want to communicate with people who speak it and learn from them.
    What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully.  Otherwise, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.
