284. Active Learning

Tom: Hey, Sarah! How's your studying going for the English exam?


Sarah: Hi, Tom! It's going okay, but I feel like I'm struggling to remember everything.


Tom: Yeah, I get that. Have you tried any active learning techniques?


Sarah: Not really. What do you mean?


Tom: Well, active learning is when you're not just passively reading or listening but actively engaging with the material. Like self-quizzing, teaching someone else what you've learned, or joining study groups.


Sarah: Oh, that sounds interesting! How does it help?


Tom: It helps because when you're actively involved, you're not just memorizing facts; you're understanding and processing the information deeply. Plus, teaching others reinforces your own understanding, and studying with peers can bring different perspectives and insights.


Sarah: I see! I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the tip, Tom!


Tom: No problem, Sarah! Let me know if you want to quiz each other or study together sometime.
