Learning Of Schools: The Importance Of Learning Out Of School

Learning out of Schools

Yogi Berra says, "Life is a learning experience, only if you learn" (qtd. in Reid). People continue to say this famous quote in their conversations, and they use it to say that people learn something new every day in their lives. Learning is not only in schools or in universities because life for any person is like a big university and full of good and bad experiences. Individuals learn from both of them. Everyone will learn each day new skills or knowledge, from birth to death. In this time, populace ask themselves what learning is, and how they learn. "We define learning as a process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and increases the potential for improved performance and future learning,"

Friends are the people who are outside the immediate family home, but they are close. Friendship is very important for adults and children. In “The Importance of Friendship for School-Age Children,” Ferrer and Fugate state that children develop emotionally and morally when they have friends, and together they learn many social skills, such as communication, cooperation, and solving problems.

In “A Corpus Driven Study of the Potential for Vocabulary Learning through Watching Movies,” Webb points out that individuals will start learning more vocabulary after they watch many movies for a long time (497). For instance, I have absorbed many skills and knowledge from the internet and TV programs that have increased my vocabulary, improved my listening in English, and made me familiar with cultures and geographic information about many countries around the world. Moreover, one of my Indian friends has learned Arabic from spending time with us and listening to native Arabic dialect through conversational form. As we know, children learn many skills from their parents like language and activities. Sometimes, children mimic their parents’ action and try to be like them. Furthermore, some kids love their cousins and follow what their cousins say to them, and children sometimes try to wear similar clothes or get the same hair cut like their cousins. Using audio and visual methods to help people to learn are a significant aim that play an important role in the whole education process outside school. Audio and
