High
School VS University
Learning English in high school and university seems to be
the same, but actually it is quite different. There are few differences between
learning English in high school and university, three of which are learning
materials, student willingness, and teaching method. The first is learning materials. Learning
material in high school is different than learning material in university. In
high school, students only learn Basic English like greeting, tenses, and
learning basic vocabulary, while in university, student learn advanced English
such as paragraph writing, speaking for informal interaction, and literal
reading. The second is student willingness. High school students are forced to
come to the class. Willing or not they must study and come to class, if not
teacher or parent will scold them. On the other hand, university students must
be independent. Lecturers did not care as much as high school students, whether
student come to class or not it highly depend on student willingness to study.
The third is teaching method. Teachers in high school give much guidance to
their students. They explain their material thoroughly and tend to explain all of
the material to their student, while in the university, lecturer tend to let
their student explore the material. University students are expected to explore
the material, not only in classes but also outside of classes. Those are the
differences between learning English in high school and in university. However,
in spite of the differences, it also has lots of similarities. In high school
we learn Basic English in order to improve our English language capability.
Even though it seems that high school students only learn Basic English, they
have to learn and understand it if they want to improve their English. Not only
learning and understanding Basic English, high school students must also have
the willingness to study English. Even if it only learning Basic English if
they did not have the willingness to learn it, they will never able to learn
it. Nevertheless, learning English in high school, no matter the students is
willing or not, no matter they understand it or not, it is a part of formal
study. Formal study is a study activity that is conducted in class and is
monitored by the government. That is learning English in high school, now let
discuss about learning English in university. Learning English in university
seems to be different and more advanced. However, it actually has the same
purpose, which is to improve English capability. However, first we must
understand the basic of learning English in high school. Not only that,
university students must also have the willingness to study or they will give
up on studying English and stop it half way or might not learn anything at all.
The last similarity that we are going to discuss is about formal study.
Studying English in university is also a part of formal study. We come to
classes and is also supervised and follow the rule made by The government.
Those are the similarities and differences of learning English in high school
and university. It has similarities, but not completely similar. It has
differences, but not completely different.
