Personal Language Learning
Environment (PLLE)
What is it
It is the environment in which you learn. It
includes:
 your workplace
 your home and family
 your social environment and friends
 your local community
 the face-to-face and online courses in
which you participate
 online and mobile self-study materials
 media (TV, radio, newspapers)
Why should you consider
building one for yourself
 to organize your learning for yourself
 to reflect on what, where and how you
learn
 to set your own goals
 to monitor your own learning
 to recognize that learning happens in
the brain, not in the classroom
 Now think about all the situations in
which YOU practise English on your
own. How actively do you engage in
practising English outside your
classes?
 Start creating your own map. Jot down
some ideas before moving on to the
next step.
 Look at other people's examples.
 Make your own PLLE (Personal
Language Learning Environment)
 Media
 Information & communication
technologies
 Community
 Home/family

THE MEDIA

mobile device or on your PC.

 Get through the first 5 or 10 minutes. It’ll
eventually get easier. The visual support
will encourage you to keep watching on.
 Get hooked on a series or a sitcom.

BEING AWARE IS THE FIRST
STEP FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Keep a diary of everything you do to improve your English
throughout the day. Your diary should reflect:
- How much listening practice you did today (Did you listen to
the radio today? Did you watch the TV in English today? Did
you listen to podcasts in English today?...)
- How much you read in English today (Did you read the news
online today?, Did you read a book or part of a book
today?...)
- How much you wrote in English today (Did you write an email
in English today? Did you write your shopping list in English
today?...)
- How much you spoke in English today (Did you have a
conversation with a native speaker today? Did you speak with
yourself in English today?...)
Your diary should reflect how much time you estimate you have
devoted to English today. That should give you an idea of
how much effort you are putting into your English learning
process.
If you don’t have much time
Every day when you go to bed spend
10 minutes:
- Writing a diary in English
OR, alternatively,
- Speaking with yourself in English: tell
yourself everything you’ve done all
day since you woke up.
 Anything that you can do in English,
do it in English, e.g. Choose English at
the cashpoint
 If at first you don’t succeed, try try
again
