Several years ago
when I was teaching advanced-level English, I used to give my students the
following information to help them get more out of their class. I thought I
would share the same information with you if you are interested…
STEPS TO BETTER ENGLISH SPEAKING
Speaking English consists of more
than taking classes. Making a commitment to practice and use the language is
the only way to become skillful. A constant effort of thinking in English
will determine how fluent you become.
Follow these pointers
for becoming great in the English language. Look at speaking English
as a natural way of life. Many people think of English as a course like
geometry. Problem solving becomes the major focus.
Unfortunately, there
are too many variables in the pattern of this subject to try and learn in black
and white. Start with learning basic rules and structure, but remember, English
is an acquired skill. By practicing, changing, and listening, you will
find the flow of speaking English become a part of your soul in how it
manifests itself.
The language becomes
unique to each person. It will become who you are. After a while, it will flow
naturally. Never rely solely on a dictionary when you come across words you
don’t understand. Concentrate on the whole language. Becoming proficient
in little details will slow down your ability to feel English.
Instead of relying on
a dictionary when encountering new words, try utilizing these steps:
1. Look at the entire
phrase or sentence and concentrate on what type of meaning the new word has in
relation to
the overall point. (learn English pharases, not individual words)
the overall point. (learn English pharases, not individual words)
2. If you cannot see
a relevant use for this word, ask someone for the meaning.
3. Next, go to an
English-English dictionary* if you still cannot grasp the meaning.
4. Finally, as a last
resort only, look the word up in your native language dictionary.
(*Professionals have
indicated that students have a much higher rate of remembering words when they
are led a paper dictionary to look up the meaning. Unlike electronic forms, the
hard copy English-English dictionary will also provide a more in depth meaning
plus examples of use.)
Keep notes of new
phrases and words for reference. Being able to review new foreign words will
help you remember faster. Once you have the pronunciation and sound perfected,
use in sentences.
Try including what
you have learned in your speech with others and use it in writing whenever
appropriate. These words will soon become natural to you.
Let English engulf you.
Treat speaking English as if it were your native language by reading
books, listening to radio stations and watching television in the language.
Become part of your
community by attending functions that are English speaking. Only by
constantly surrounding yourself with something new will it become second
nature. Learn to live and breathe English and it will become YOUR
language.
To your success in
English,
