Discussion on the effects of input and output is no more brand-new, but is still a major concern in second language teaching area. This widely spread discussion, whether language input enhances learners' acquisition more than language output or vice versa, is not an applicable idea only to second language teaching, but it can be applied to learning in general.
We live our daily lives surrounded by information which influence our thoughts and sometimes change our identities. At the same time, however, there are many more unknown facts which have potentials to influence us in the way that we wish them to.
In order to enrich my thought by knowing what is happening in the world and how we have developed our lives as we are today, I am going to learn more about the world.
To do that, I am going to read books, news and articles with various topics including English education, which is my major, politics, philosophy, history, anthropology... and other study areas as far as I can find. This reading will be "input" for my learning. And, as for "output", I am going to write what I have learned from the "input", to make the floating ideas in my head clear and organized.
This is why I decided to start a new blog here. Probably one post a week? I am not sure yet. But anyway, I hope this new trial will work as a good preparation for my future job; teacher, and lead me to a better life.

Alright. It's all for today!
Good night!
