Writing is the most difficult and important part of learning a foreign language

Language is one of the basic means of transmitting information, which consists of two parts: sending information and receiving it. 

Reading and listening are for receiving information using the eyes and the ears, respectively. 

They are means of inputting information into the brain. 

On the other hand, speaking and writing are for sending information using the mouth and the hands, respectively. 

They are means of conveying information from the brain.

Among these, reading is something the learner can do using a lot of books or other written materials by himself at his own pace with enough time.

Next, listening is for receiving information from others. 

You must understand what is spoken within a limited time because the speaker usually doesn’t care about your convenience.

However, we can study listening by using devices such as compact discs, audiotapes or TV on our own.

When it comes to writing and speaking, the difference between the two is only in the way in which our ideas are conveyed. 

The same center region of the brain is considered to be used when writing and speaking.

When speaking, the speaker is the creator of what he or she speaks. 

In many cases, since the content is based on his experiences in Japanese, it is difficult to use a language he doesn’t know well, that is, English, because he doesn’t have enough vocabulary and has not practiced sufficiently. 

The more experience a learner has with his mother tongue, the more difficult it is to study a foreign language because what he wants to say becomes very complex.

When speaking, you create what you say. 

In many cases, since the content is based on your experiences in Japanese, it is difficult to properly use a language you don’t know very well, that is, English, because you don’t have enough vocabulary and have not practiced sufficiently. 

The more experience of your mother tongue you have, the more difficult it is to study a foreign language because what you want to say becomes very complex.

Among these two means, native speakers can sometimes understand even if the speaker’s English is a little bit mistaken or awkward because the content can be understood by guessing or through the speaker’s gesture s and facial expressions.

Among these two means, native speakers can sometimes understand even if your English is a little bit mistaken or awkward because the content can be understood by guessing or through your gestures and facial expressions.

However, with writing, the content of the written material without gestures is the only information available. 

Awkward or incorrect English is embarrassing and the content will last as long as the written paper is not destroyed. 

Therefore, correct English is required even of a foreign writer.

If someone can write correct English, this person can speak correctly, except for pronunciation.

If you can write correct English, you can speak correctly, except for pronunciation.

Further, people cannot learn how to write in a foreign language by themselves. 

We need the help of native speakers to study writing, and that with careful observation. 

A writer who is still learning the language doesn’t know what is correct nor can he correct it by, himself.

If you are still learning the language, you don’t know what is correct and you also can’t correct it by yourself.

「外国語学習で、私が書くことを最も重視していることについて」

 言葉は情報を伝達するための手段であり、情報を発信することと、情報を受け取ることに分けられます。

 情報を受け取るための方法として、目を使って読むことと、耳を使って聞くことがあります。これらは、脳への入力の手段です。

 一方、情報を発信するための方法には、口を使って話すことと手を使って書くことがあります。これらは脳からの出力の手段です。

 これらの四種類の学習をする場合、母国語として書かれた書物を読むこととは自分のペースで時間かけて独力で学習することができます。

 聞くことは、情報の発信を受けとることですので、自分の都合ではなく、限られた時間内に行わなければなりません。

 しかし、学習の際には現在ではいろいろなCD、オーディオテープなどの道具がありますので母国語として話された音声を何回も繰り返し聞くことにより、独力で学習することができます。

 書くことと話すことについては、脳内の情報の出力方法の違いだけであり、同じ中枢を使うと考えます。

 自分が情報の発信者になるわけですが、日本語による経験に基づいて持っている情報を、あまりよく知らない外国語、つまり、英語で表現するには語彙力、詳細な状況を説明する経験が少なく、適切に表現することが困難です。

 母国語での経験が多ければ多いほど、内容が複雑に成り、外国語での表現が困難になります。

 二つの手段のうち、話すことは、その内容はすぐに消滅し、言葉が洗練されていなくても相手が内容を予測するなど、また顔の表情や身振り手振りにより内容を大まかに理解することができます。

 もう一方の書くことは、紙に書かれた内容が唯一の情報であり、記録としていつまでも残り、下手な文章では恥に成り、母国語の読者が読んでもおかしくない外国人特有のぎこちない文章ではないものが求められます。

正しい文章が書ければ、発音を除けば英語を正しい話すことができます。

そして、書くことの学習は独力ではできず、その言語の母国語の話者から直接、語彙、表現方法の間違いを指摘してもらいながら学習しなければなりません。

故に、私は、四つの語学の手段の中では、書くことが最も難しく、重要な手段と考えます。

About what I prioritize the most in foreign language learning:

Language is a means of conveying information, and it can be divided into two parts: transmitting information and receiving information. To receive information, one can use their eyes to read or their ears to listen. These are ways to input information into the brain. On the other hand, to transmit information, one can use their mouth to speak or their hands to write. These are ways to output information from the brain.

When learning these four methods, reading books written in one’s native language allows for self-paced learning over an extended period of time. Listening, on the other hand, involves receiving information, so it must be done within a limited time frame and according to other people’s schedules. However, there are various tools such as CDs and audio tapes available for language learning, which allow one to learn independently by repeatedly listening to audio recorded in their native language.

Writing and speaking are only different in terms of the method of outputting information in the brain, and I believe they use the same central nervous system. When one becomes the sender of information, it is difficult to express experiences based on Japanese knowledge in a foreign language like English, because they lack vocabulary and experience describing detailed situations. The more experience one has in their native language, the more complex the content becomes, making it difficult to express in a foreign language.

Of the two methods, speaking can be predicted by the listener even if the content is not well refined, and the listener can roughly understand the content through facial expressions and body language. On the other hand, writing is the only source of information, it stays as a record for a long time, and it requires proper grammar and syntax. If the writing is incorrect, it could be an embarrassment, and it shouldn’t be something that sounds awkward to a native speaker of the language. If one can write correctly, they can speak English correctly, except for pronunciation. Writing cannot be learned independently, and one needs to learn from native speakers of that language, who can point out vocabulary and expression mistakes while learning.

Therefore, I believe that of the four methods of language learning, writing is the most difficult and important.

Title: The Importance of Writing in Foreign Language Learning

Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to discuss the importance of writing in foreign language learning. Language is a means of communication that can be divided into two categories: information transmission and information reception. While reading and listening are ways of receiving information, speaking and writing are ways of transmitting information.

In foreign language learning, reading a book written in one’s native language can be a great way to learn at one’s own pace. However, listening requires limited time and availability, and it may be difficult to find someone to listen to and learn from. Fortunately, there are many tools available today, such as CDs and audio tapes, which allow students to learn on their own by repeatedly listening to spoken language.

While speaking and writing are simply different methods of outputting information in the brain, expressing oneself in a foreign language can be challenging. When speaking, one’s message disappears quickly, and the listener may rely on facial expressions and gestures to understand the content. On the other hand, writing leaves a permanent record of the message, and poorly written sentences can be embarrassing. To improve writing skills, students must learn directly from native speakers who can point out vocabulary and grammatical errors.

Therefore, I believe that writing is the most difficult and important aspect of foreign language learning, as it requires a high level of vocabulary and expression. In the following sections, I will explain why writing is important and provide tips for improving writing skills.

Title: Why Writing is Important in Foreign Language Learning

Writing is essential in foreign language learning because it allows students to practice grammar, vocabulary, and expression. When writing in a foreign language, students must think carefully about each word they use and how they structure their sentences. This process helps to reinforce their knowledge of the language and increase their ability to communicate effectively.

Furthermore, writing helps students to better understand the nuances of a foreign language. When reading or listening to a language, it is easy to miss important details or cultural references. However, when writing, students must actively consider the meaning and implications of each word and phrase, which can help them gain a deeper understanding of the language.

Finally, writing is important because it allows students to express their own ideas and experiences. By writing in a foreign language, students can share their own perspectives and learn from others. This can be a powerful way to connect with people from different cultures and build meaningful relationships.

Title: Tips for Improving Writing Skills in Foreign Language Learning

To improve writing skills in foreign language learning, students should start by building a strong foundation of vocabulary and grammar. It is important to study the rules of the language and practice using them in writing.

Next, students should read as much as possible in the target language. This can help them gain a better understanding of sentence structure, word usage, and cultural references. It is also a great way to increase vocabulary and gain new ideas for writing.

Another effective strategy is to practice writing regularly. This can be done through journaling, writing essays or short stories, or even communicating with others through email or social media. By writing consistently, students can gain confidence and develop their own voice in the language.

Finally, it is important to seek feedback from native speakers. This can be done through language exchange programs or by hiring a tutor. By receiving feedback on their writing, students can identify their weaknesses and work to improve them.

In conclusion, writing is a critical aspect of foreign language learning. By practicing writing regularly and seeking feedback from native speakers, students can improve their writing skills and gain a deeper understanding of the language. Thank you for listening.
