In order to let you get rid of the fear of oral English like me, and successfully pass all kinds of IELTS, four special schools and eight class examinations, and be able to throw out a fluent English and talk to foreigners, I have compiled the following oral learning suggestions that can help you:
1、 Don't be afraid to talk! Don't be afraid to talk! Don't be afraid to talk!
If you want to speak fluent English, please seize every opportunity to speak. No matter in English class or in various English activities, when you meet foreign teachers on the road, you can seize the opportunity to turn your brain and create an opportunity to speak English! Don't be afraid that your pronunciation is not standard. In fact, as long as you can express your meaning clearly, foreigners won't care what accent you have! *** You can also take a look at the questions in the oral part of IELTS, from Part 1 to part 3. They are also very good materials for practicing oral English. *** However, students with weak foundation such as grammar and vocabulary can first consider taking some online courses to consolidate the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary application, so as to better ensure the accuracy of oral English. The online courses and apps recommended by individuals are listed below for your reference.
2、 Oral English learning can never be separated from listening. Learn to input and output from listening
Everyone may think that oral practice is the end of speaking, but! In fact, speaking is only a premise. It is more effective to combine speaking with listening practice. For example, you can choose different listening materials according to your own foundation. For those with weak foundation, you can choose daily dialogue, such as classic American TV friends. The dialogue is not only authentic but also easy to learn, which is often used in life. For those with better foundation, you can choose some speech materials, such as Ted, with moderate speed, richer vocabulary and sentence patterns. For those with strong foundation, you can choose daily dialogue We can choose news materials with faster speech speed, such as CNN, BBC, VOA, etc. After listening to the English materials blindly, I will retell, summarize and express my own opinions in English, so as to complete the learning from English input to output! This kind of learning method can kill two birds with one stone~
3、 Jump out of the rigid dialogue in the textbook and integrate into the authentic English Context
In addition to the "speaking", the best way to practice spoken English is to throw yourself into the authentic English context, that is, to communicate with native speakers more often, and learn authentic expressions and vocabulary from their English narration. In school, we can communicate with foreign teachers more, but we can't have a chance to communicate with foreign teachers after class, so we have to find other ways by ourselves.
When I realized this, I began to search for various oral English learning apps. I hope to be able to communicate with real foreign teachers in two ways as the most effective learning method. I have used coco English, akaso foreign teachers network, English fluency and many other apps or websites. Almost two thirds of the software in my mobile phone is about oral English learning, but I can stick to it and be able to use it after one year Only akaso can see the results. I once had a professional teacher (a goddess with excellent oral English) graduated from Southampton University with me Speaking of my IELTS speaking only 6 points of the test, the old face is red, the goddess let me try to go to ah Sao, and I said this is the professional spoken English learning website that she has seen. Later, I went to see it with a try attitude, and found that there are many professional foreign teachers in it. They can try classes, real-time online tutoring, and make plans for different needs of people. In fact, the courses are much cheaper than those on other websites. The key is really super effective for practicing oral English!
