Simple Learning Skills And Techniques Emmanuel Q -M Bruce-Adjei

This book is designed to teach you simple learning and studying skills and techniques. You will learn about the use of acronyms, the chaining or link method, image naming, keywords, acrostics, a simple way to learn and master a new language and a plethora of other methods for handling difficult study materials you encounter during your studies. You may know some of the methods but have not consciously put them into practice. This is the time for you to improve your learning and studying skills and techniques by effectively and efficiently implementing them. This will go a long way in helping you learn and study difficult items.

This is a subject you never get taught in school since it is albeit rather erroneously assumed that everyone knows how to learn and study and everyone has his/her own method of learning and studying so it is not really necessary to teach anyone how to learn or study. All this may be true for a limited number of students and learners. However, if people could be assisted to learn and study more effectively and efficiently, it will improve their abilities to remember the things they have learnt.

We can simply define learning as the cognitive process of acquiring a skill or knowledge or simply committing information and data to memory. The ability to concentrate is a prerequisite for effective and efficient learning. The key presupposition is that you understand what you are reading. However, it is a waste of time if you understand what you have read but you cannot remember it. So it is clear that you must remember what you read and understand. You must therefore make a conscious and deliberate effort to remember what you learn.
