Reflection is a proven strategy to improve learning outcomes and foster a sense of belonging. When members reflect on their daily experiences, they internalize lessons and become more aware of their progress. This process also helps highlight personal growth and areas for improvement, which is especially valuable in language learning.
By prompting members to connect their lives to their English journey, you encourage authentic engagement and build a supportive environment. These reflections spark meaningful discussions, help members articulate their thoughts in English, and strengthen the community's shared purpose.
