 Teaching Spoken English is not a cup of tea!

Teaching spoken English isn’t a cup of tea. It highly demands complete results. It involves all four language factors: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Apart from this, other ideas are also applied in the class. There isn’t any surety about what works or what doesn't. That’s why one has to go beyond the classroom language and find something better for his learners. Importantly, motivation and happiness are required to play a greater role in bringing out the best results in the class.

             Moreover, commitment and focus are needed from both sides to practise the English language at a regular level. Manners of teaching and learning matter a lot as they help them create interest. Even starting and ending not only impart motivation but also hold them for a week. Therefore, activities are designed so that they learn it naturally and interestingly.

At the next level, developing a thought process in the English language is a touchstone for teachers and learners too. Hence, getting such ideas and activities in class and applying them accordingly helps them much more.

Last but not least materials don’t work to some extent but the methods surely do it. Therefore, more thoughtfulness is required for teaching spoken English.

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 learnin...
