Situational Learning

In the lesson on May 7^th, situational learning was mentioned as an important way for employees’ training. I was impressed with this kind way of learning. I think it is obvious that no matter how much we read or learn, if we don’t put our knowledge into practice, we may not remember and apply the obtained skills in the real situations. Therefore, when it comes to learning acquisition, we know that putting something abstract into real action enhance our memory, the effect of which is much better than that of reading in a pedantic way.

For instance, for FLA students, the strategies of talking on the phone are not easy to learn because they have seldom opportunities to practice their on-phone techniques. However, if teacher could offer a situation and make students do some activities in which students can use what they just learned immediately, students would experience the situational communication. I believe it will dramatically improve their knowledge absorbability and make great progress in learning.
