Additionally, when you check the answer on the other side, you automatically assess your answer and compare it with the correct answer, which improves another mental faculty called <\/span><b>metacognition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

I studied English Language and Literature for my BA, and my interest in the subject increased even further. After graduating with a BA degree from the University of Isfahan, I continued my education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I received my MA degree in TEFL from the Isfahan University of Technology. All the while, I was engaged in expanding my knowledge of the culture of native English speakers by reading novels, listening to English podcasts, and watching English movies.

My parents, concerned about my educational prospects, enrolled me in an English course, and thanks to motivating teachers, the fun learning environment, and, of course, my own efforts, I grew fond of English as the subject to pursue in university. I studied English Language and Literature for my BA, and my interest in the subject increased even further. After graduating with a BA degree from the University of Isfahan, I continued my education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I received my MA degree in TEFL from the Isfahan University of Technology. All the while, I was engaged in expanding my knowledge of the culture of native English speakers by reading novels, listening to English podcasts, and watching English movies. Consequently, my efforts brought me to where I am now: a skilled English content producer. I hope my content helps you make better decisions.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/majid-zare-dastgerdi-79267b89?lipi=urnlipaged_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_detailsfINxBmOjR5yAcl2jZ21q6g"],"birthDate":"1994-09-25","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["English Language Writing"],"knowsLanguage":["English","German","Persian"],"jobTitle":"English Content Writer","worksFor":"Ostado","url":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/author\/majidzare\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8127"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8127"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9164,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8127\/revisions\/9164"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
