Developing your speaking skills will involve gaining
fluency in spoken interactions with others, as well as
practicing your pronunciation. To practice
pronunciation try reading aloud or repeating after a
recorded text, trying to reproduce the pronunciation
and intonation of
the original.
As in your first language, your writing will be improved
by becoming a critical reader
- try to think actively
about how texts are structured and what kinds
of
phrases or vocabulary are used for different purposes
(e.g. introducing a topic, describing, comparing and
contrasting, writing conclusions).
General listening skills are your ability to understand
meaning. When someone speaks you understand what
they want to say. Focused
listening skills are your ability to
hear particular sounds. Each language has a set of sounds:
these are the vowels and consonants
specific to the
language.
You should understand the main ideas of most speech in a
standard dialect.You should demonstrate an emerging
awareness of culturally implied meanings beyond the
surface meanings of the text.
2-Speaking
The ability to speak confidently and fluently is
something which
children will develop during their time
at school, and something that will help them throughout
their life.
Speaking skills are defined as the skills which allow us
to communicate effectively. They give us the ability to
convey information
verbally and in a way that the
listener can understand.
Children will learn English speaking skills as well as
speaking
skills in other languages, in primary and
secondary school. Learning how
to develop English
speaking skills is so important for ESL students and
EAL students too. It's one of the most important
parts of language
learning as speaking is how we
tend to communicate in everyday life.
Speaking is an interactive process where information
is shared, and if necessary, acted upon by the listener.
So, it’s important to develop both speaking and
listening skills in order to communicate effectively.

and converse in a clear and participatory fashion
You should be able to initiate, sustain, and bring
