Break it down then build it up.
know (and choose) suitable vocabulary,
use the right grammar and sentence
patterns, and produce the correct sounds,
stress patterns, rhythm and intonation.
Work on these individual elements
separately then practise putting them
together to make your speech more
accurate and fluent.

Check that the other person is following,
by using conversation strategies like
emphasizing key words, rephrasing, or
using expressions like ‘You know what I
mean?’ or ‘Don’t you agree?’
Give the other person a chance to speak
and use their answers and to help you
think about what to say next.

Use gestures, body language and facial
expressions for explanation or emphasis,
and try to read what the other person’s
body language is saying.
You need the right attitude to improve
your English. Look for every opportunity
to practice speaking.

Think in English If you are on the
train or bus, then describe the people
around you (in your head, not aloud!),
and when you go to sleep, go over
the day’s events in English.
Record yourself speaking and then
listen to the tape, or ask a native
speaker for some advice.

Make a note of all the conversations you
had in English along with aspects you did
well and things you could improve on. Use
this to track your progress throughout the
year and set yourself new goals.
If you feel you need extra practice and
want to interact with other English
learners, join Spoken English Coaching
