Discover your current English language ability and study at your English language Level
( Dunning–Kruger effect)
Take an English Test online to discover your current English ability. This will ensure the English Course you choose is the right English level for you to build on your current English knowledge and learn English online faster anywhere.
In 2009, two Cornell University psychologists, Justin Kruger and David Dunning, published a paper entitled “Unskilled and unaware of it: how difficulties in recognizing one’s own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments. “
People with low English language ability frequently overestimate their ability.
This trend has been consistently observed in many psychological studies and it is referred to as the better-than-average effect. Even people who score far below average (at the bottom 10%) imagine that they are above average, until they receive their actual test scores. Even after taking a test, they imagine they scored above average, while the actual test score places them far below average. The better-than-average effect provides evidence that people, in general, have unrealistic positive images of themselves compared to their peers (Alicke, Klotz, Breitenbecher,Yurak, & Vredenburg, 1995).

Active learning is superior to lecture alone to learn English fast: higher test scores achieved with less class time.
Active learning involves students working in pairs or larger groups. (for a comprehensive review, see Davidson, Major, & Michaelsen, 2014). Such groups can range from as few as two members in the simple think-pair-share strategy
In one case, 300+ students were divided into two groups.
Group 1 attended class 3 times per week in a standard classroom with a teacher.
Group 2 attended class 1 time per week in an active learning group classroom with the same teacher.
The Active learning group which met one time per week scored higher on the same standardized test than the group which met 3 times per week.
