Hi, this is AJ Hoge, Director of the Effortless English Club. Welcome to our new set of
lessons, these are called the Power English Lessons. The reason they’re called Power
English is because in these lessons we’re going to do two things. Number one, you’re
going to learn English, of course. As always, we have the mini‑stories which are our
favorite lessons for most of our members, but the content, the focus, the topics in these
lessons are going to be focused on the psychology of learning and the psychology of
success.
Now these ideas, they’re not just my ideas. In fact, they come from a lot of other
people. They come from people like Tony Robbins, who is a famous success coach,
Robert Anton Wilson, Joe Vitale, Robert Kiyosaki, Alan Watt, so I’ve taken a lot of ideas
from a lot of different people about this topic of the psychology of success. And the
reason that we’re going to talk about this in these lessons is that in my experience, most
English students struggle and fail because of psychology, not because of methods, not
because of teachers.
Those things are important, but Tony Robbins talks about the fact that psychology is
80% of success. And I think he’s right, based on my experience with many, many
English students. Psychology is 80% of success, so 20% are the methods you use to
study. 20% are the schools you go to, the teachers you have, the books you use.
Those are important, we talk a lot about them. But the other 80% is psychology, your
motivation, your emotions, how you manage your time. All of these things are in fact
much, much more important.
What I saw in my classes were that the enthusiastic students, the energetic students,
the optimistic students always learned much faster. They succeeded. The ones who
failed, the ones who dropped out and quit, the ones who struggled had the opposite
mentality. They had a very negative mentality. Their motivation was low. They tended
to be pessimistic. They felt that they weren’t good at English. They had ideas that
English was very tough, very difficult, they struggled. They didn’t have enthusiasm for
English. They didn’t love English.
So in these lessons we’re going to talk about how can you manage your emotions. How
can you develop that strong, powerful, enthusiastic attitude towards English, how can
you maintain it so that you don’t get bored? So that in fact you get stronger and
stronger with English and your psychology gets stronger and you succeed, you reach
your goals. You speak fluently, effortlessly. So among teachers, English teachers,
language teachers, this topic is called Non-Linguistic Factors. Non‑Linguistic Factors.
So what “Non‑Linguistic Factors” means is things that are not related to language
learning directly. When we talk about language learning research, when we talk about
the best methods to use when you learn English, those are linguistic factors, right?
They are related to the language. Non‑linguistic factors means not related to the
language. This has nothing to do with English, it’s more about psychology. Motivation,
for example, is a non‑linguistic factor. So all it really means is just emotional factors.
And there are actually many research studies about this topic.
Dr. Stephen Krashen down in Los Angeles, probably again the expert in language
acquisition and language learning, has done many studies and he has also looked at
many studies and he’s found that non‑linguistic factors are equally or in fact more
important than the linguistic factors to determine who is successful ultimately. What that
means is that things like your emotions, things like your peer group, the community that
you belong to, your feelings a
