One thing I've learned in the HELP program is related to enhancing knowledge about rate reading techniques and improve skills to increase reading rate.

Overall,  I've  could improve my listening and expand my vocabulary, because having continuous contact with other people who speak English, it significantly helps me to be more fluid and feel confidence. It has been very interesting for me, because also I've  known  about habits and recipes from other countries, because I'm  sharing  space with other students in the dorms in  the university of Hawaii's campus.

 I think, depending on what you will learn and the way that makes it easy to learn, also it depends on the techniques or strategies, for example; for me it is easier to learn in practice or classroom. Actually,  it is difficult for me the techniques about self-taught, so I prefer to submit to class schedules.  Therefore for me it is difficult to conceive that sometimes focus only teaching master classes, where for example there is no discussion of issues. In conclusion, I think,  with exception of learning another language, it requires a mix of learning types for each skil (speaking, listening, writing, reading).

We need to learn strategies, because it is important to save time in reading, to identify main ideas, understand the texts for further analysis and thus also to draw our own conclusions.
