The aim of this interview is to know the preferences， expectations and beliefs of the interviewee on English language learning. The interviewee is an adult learner who comes from Georgia， and works for military defense. His English level is not very good， therefore during the interview， some questions are explained in order to make him understand better.

He expresses that the purpose of English study for him can be divided into two points. The first reason is his job needs English； he has to use English to communicate with different people form other countries and read English materials. The second reason is English is an international language which is used widely in the world； therefore， it is a necessity to learn English in his country.

He believes it is the best way to study foreign languages in native-speaking countries. Because people have to use the foreign language everywhere at any time， which can help people improve their speaking and enrich their vocabularies. That is also the reason for him to study English in England. He can make a progress on English study quickly in the good language environment.

For English study， he likes grammar best and thinks grammar is the premise for learning any foreign languages well. Grammar can let people use the vocabularies already known to organize sentences and learners can write a good composition with good sentence structures by using enough grammar knowledge. The interviewee pays more attention to grammar， which can show that for his own experience， grammar is the basic step to learn other practices in English effectively. He thinks that grammar is not difficult for him because some basic grammar rules can be applied to other areas in English. Therefore， he can use the firm grammar rules to make various kinds of sentences. He prefers to do grammar practices rather than do other practices of English. Writing is the most difficult aspect of English study for him， he says it is hard for him to organize an excellent composition in English. Writing involves peoples comprehensive abilities of English skills like firm knowledge of grammar， rich vocabularies and good organization.

For English classes， he expects that English teachers give more grammar explanations and grammar practices in class time. The way to write a good writing should be the key points in class and teachers also can give some hot topics to students and let them write in their own way. Then he points out group work is very interesting， but teachers should not give so many group works during one class. He thinks sometimes working in the team is not a good way to all the people. Because teachers always ask some people to represent the whole group to express ideas so that not all the people can have the chance to interact with teachers. Especially for some shy learners and some students whose English level are low， they are not willing to tell their own ideas. So it is better for teacher give some self jobs to everyone and let each student think about their questions positively then speak out their own opinions.
