Tibetan area is remote and underdeveloped mountainous area， so it is hard to communicate with teachers. And because of the poor learning basis and poor enthusiasm of learning， it is very difficult to learn a new language， especially English. However English is new subject for students in Tibetan area， and it is interesting and fearful for students to learn English. As an English teacher in Tibetan area， how do we make students become a good learner？

Most students in Tibetan area will study English by writing down Chinese homonym and Tibetan homonym. In this way， they will have poor pronunciation and they dont pronounce correctly. Even it is difficult to read the word， sentence， and passage. When they cant read the word， sentence and passage， they will not be interested in English and be afraid of studying English. So as an English teacher， we should play the English tape to let students listen to. If the conditions permit， every student can buy an English tape for myself， and they need to listen every day. In class， students are confident of English；they are very excited about English. Because of good pronunciation basis， when students meet new words or study new words， they can pronounce the new words correctly by themselves by reading phonetic symbols. If students can pronounce correctly， there is no need to write down Chinese homonym and Tibetan homonym to study English and remember them. As an English teacher， to begin with， we must say to students some rules about studying English pronunciation： please paint short line under vowels；please remember the vowels and consonants pronunciation；please open your mouth to pronounce and speak English， including the words sentences and passages in your textbook；keep reading English every day；practice English more ；please remember the words by using hand， eyes， mouth， even heart. These will help them to study English pronunciation well. It is the first step to study English. If the students master the English pronunciation well， they will have no difficulties in reading words， sentences， even the passages in their textbook. It is very useful to learn grammar， understand the sentences， dialogue and the passages.

The students think they master the English pronunciation well；they can read the words， sentences， or passages；they are a good learner？ Of course not！When studying a foreign language， they are required to learn the four parts： listening， speaking， reading and writing. When they master the four parts well， they are a really good learner. They have mastered the English pronunciation well， however， they will start the long long way to go. The students will improve themselves from all sides. For students in Tibetan area， how do they do to improve themselves？ What do they do about becoming a good learners？ If students want to be good at English and a good English learner， they will do something from the detail.

In class， students must master some ways to listen to the lesson and take notes. I have been in Tibetan area for more than 2 years；I have found that many of students can not take notes in book；even they can not listen to lesson. In Tibetan area， when class is over， the students dont find place where teacher has taught. Therefore the students will write down the notes anywhere in textbook. There are no notes about English knowledge points in their textbook for most students. And they will not take notes. These study habits arent conducive to learning English.

Because of these， the students must change the bad learning methods. They should learn how to take notes. With the help of teacher， they will succeed in English. So how do the students take notes in class？ when taking notes， please prepare at least three color pencils；please learn to take notes by using different symbols；please listen to lesson carefully. These will help them to become a good English learners！ Maybe students ask how to use the ways. It is not difficult. Therefore the students must pay attention to them， and take notes well so that they will review the lessons carefully. During my teaching English， the students in my class are often required to do as I say. For example， when we meet phrase， the students are asked to paint double lines；as we meet key word， they will draw double triangles；What about key sentence？ I can demand students to draw a rectangle. In compound sentence， the conjunction is drawn a circle plus double triangles and wrote down the Chinese and the function. According to grammar in unit， it is asked to paint single wave line plus single triangle. These are ways of taking notes. If students master the method， it is more useful to master grammar， do exercise， and comprehend the passage. And they will get more and more talented in English in future.

The students should spend plenty of time in digesting the knowledge points after taking notes well. However a great number of students wont review their lessons after class. They often believe that it is significant to play， not to learn. They often play after class， and dont have enough time to review their lesson. Therefore the students in Tibetan Area want to be nice learner， they need to study how to take notes well in class and how to go over the lessons after class. And at the same time， they should read more text-books， understand more， and practice more！

In general， it is not difficult for students in Tibetan Area to study English. They should explore and accumulate the ways of learning English. In the meantime， the students need to cultivate the interest in studying English；teachers guide them how to take notes well in class， and sometimes introduce the methods of learning English. The students in Tibetan Area should make full use of their time after class to digest what they have learned. These are major to be great English learner.
