TEXT 2
English Should Not Be Taught Like It’s Physics:
Rethinking How We Teach Beginner Level Learners
Introduction
When teaching English to beginner-level learners, one of
the biggest mistakes we make is treating the language like
a set of scientific formulas to be memorized. In the
quintessential classroom of traditional, test-focused
educational systems, English is often taught as though it
were physics; it’s rigid, theoretical, and abstract. Language,
however, is a far cry from the aforementioned descriptions.
Language is dynamic, flexible, and has a certain “feel” to
it.
The problem with the “Physics” Approach
Picture this: you walk into a physics class and sit down.
Immediately, all sorts of theories, equations, and
vocabulary you’ve never heard before are being thrown at
you without any context. Doesn’t feel good, does it? That’s
how many beginner-level English learners feel. This
method relies heavily on grammar drills, vocabulary lists,
and some pretty unnatural textbook dialogues. Learners
may know the structure of the present perfect tense, but
they choke when asked, “How was your weekend?” Why? Because they’ve been trained to decode language
like a formula; not use it as a tool for expression.
What language really is
Language is instinctive. We don’t learn our first language
by studying grammar rules, but rather through interaction,
repetition, and real-life use. Babies don’t sit down with
textbooks in their lap. They listen, observe, repeat, and
gradually experiment; with zero fear of making mistakes.
This is how language sticks. For beginner-level learners,
especially adults, we need to replicate that natural process
as much as possible. The focus should shift from
knowledge about the language to using the language. There
should also be some emphasis on making sure the process
is enjoyable.
Rethinking success
We need to redefine what success looks like in beginner
English classes. It’s not about perfect grammar. It’s about
confidence, connection, and the ability to navigate simple
conversations. It’s about the listener’s ability to understand
what is being said by the speaker and vice-versa. I
remember when I’d tease my grandma for mispronouncing
words (for example, she’d say “brade” instead of “blade”),
and her retort would be, “You understood me though, didn’t
you?!”
It’s a win if a student can say, “I like sushi. You?” If they
can ask, “Where is the toilet?” when they’re pressed,
they’ve got more success than someone who has 50 verbs
memorized but can’t use them.
Conclusion
English is NOT physics. It’s not about solving problems on
paper; it’s about expressing thoughts and being understood,
building relationships and making life easier in an everchanging global world. If we want our students to thrive, as
well as keep being interested in improving and using
English long after moving on from our lessons together, we
need to stop treating the language like a set of scientific
formulas and start treating it like what it truly is: a human
skill.
Let’s make the classroom a space of interaction and
communication, not calculation.

English Should Not Be Taught Like It’s Physics:
Rethinking How We Teach Beginner Level Learners
Introduction
When teaching English to beginner-level learners, one of
the biggest mistakes we make is treating the language like
a set of scientific formulas to be memorized. In the
quintessential classroom of traditional, test-focused
educational systems, English is often taught as though it
were physics; it’s rigid, theoretical, and abstract. Language,
however, is a far cry from the aforementioned descriptions.
Language is dynamic, flexible, and has a certain “feel” to
it.
The problem with the “Physics” Approach
Picture this: you walk into a physics class and sit down.
Immediately, all sorts of theories, equations, and
vocabulary you’ve never heard before are being thrown at
you without any context. Doesn’t feel good, does it? That’s
how many beginner-level English learners feel. This
method relies heavily on grammar drills, vocabulary lists,
and some pretty unnatural textbook dialogues. Learners
may know the structure of the present perfect tense, but
they choke when asked, “How was your weekend?” Why? Because they’ve been trained to decode language
like a formula; not use it as a tool for expression.
What language really is
Language is instinctive. We don’t learn our first language
by studying grammar rules, but rather through interaction,
repetition, and real-life use. Babies don’t sit down with
textbooks in their lap. They listen, observe, repeat, and
gradually experiment; with zero fear of making mistakes.
This is how language sticks. For beginner-level learners,
especially adults, we need to replicate that natural process
as much as possible. The focus should shift from
knowledge about the language to using the language. There
should also be some emphasis on making sure the process
is enjoyable.
Rethinking success
We need to redefine what success looks like in beginner
English classes. It’s not about perfect grammar. It’s about
confidence, connection, and the ability to navigate simple
conversations. It’s about the listener’s ability to understand
what is being said by the speaker and vice-versa. I
remember when I’d tease my grandma for mispronouncing
words (for example, she’d say “brade” instead of “blade”),
and her retort would be, “You understood me though, didn’t
you?!”
It’s a win if a student can say, “I like sushi. You?” If they
can ask, “Where is the toilet?” when they’re pressed,
they’ve got more success than someone who has 50 verbs
memorized but can’t use them.
Conclusion
English is NOT physics. It’s not about solving problems on
paper; it’s about expressing thoughts and being understood,
building relationships and making life easier in an everchanging global world. If we want our students to thrive, as
well as keep being interested in improving and using
English long after moving on from our lessons together, we
need to stop treating the language like a set of scientific
formulas and start treating it like what it truly is: a human
skill.
