 My thoughts on teaching spoken English.

Teaching Spoken English isn’t as easy as English subjects. It has no fixed curriculum. Even teaching English grammar is not helpful to either teachers or learners. It takes a person’s knowledge and insight into the English language. Moreover. A person has to study it deeply and thoroughly. He has to reflect, research and write about the English language. He always studies it and applies it regularly. Further, he has to find out the ideas working for the learners.  

He has to keep various methods such as functional, communicative, eclectic, translation and other things. He constantly keeps his learning spontaneous. He reflects on his class regularly and deeply. Apart from this, techniques are most important to bring results to the class. That’s why, teaching spoken English is not simple to bring out the desired results in a particular area such as schools, colleges and institutes.

It takes lots of hard work and research skills from the teacher who teaches it. Importantly, it is seen that what works in a particular area is not sure will work in another area. That’s why it is a matter of research, related ideas, deep knowledge and reflection.

Lastly, happiness and active participation are highly required in the class.

Hello readers, any other ideas or suggestions are appreciable and praiseworthy.

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
