How to encourage English Department Students
to Speak English More Often and confidently
English is not a very difficult language to speak, as most people believe especilly English departmen students. While lerning to speak English, most of the people tend to make some common mistakes. People believe that writing and speaking are same things, but they are not writing and speaking , require a different set of strategies.
I have met many people who are very good writes, but not good speakers and vice versa. I have also seen many people who believe that a strong grammatical understanding is required to speak English fluently but I have many English friends who dont know the grammatical intricacies. So what are the important tips and techniques that we are supposed to follow in order to become a fluent English speaker, these are listening, speaking and reading, these skills can all be practiced alone.
Listening , to become a better speaker you have to become a good listener. Try to watch English news channel, English movies, English TV series like game of Thrones, friend, prison break or something like that. While watching keep your keep your mind active and put focus on how a particular word is pronounced. It will also help you in building a good vocabulary. Speaking , this is most crucial part of the whole process. Try to speak as much as possible. Practice makes men perfect more you practice the better you get. Try to speak with your friends, your teachers and at every possible place. You can also practice in front of a mirror. Reading, many people ignore this part considering is irrelevent. Reading helps in thinking and give some food for your thoughts. The most important contribution of reading is a strong vocabulary. You can read the newspaper, magazine, novel etc. If youare a beginner, try to read a light novel lets say of Chetan Bhagat. While reading make a list of words that are new to you and try to revise them again and again.
Dont waste time studying grammar or vocabulary. Dont waste time trying to speak. You should spend all of your time aither listening or reading. This is the fastest and most efficient method for speaking English more often and confidently for English department students.
