Learning Strategies

Here are some strategies that you can use to improve.

A) YOUR SPEAKING SKILLS:

1. Do not interrupt or talk over the other person--it breaks the flow of conversation. Timing is
important.
2. Try to speak fluently and try to make sure people can hear you when you speak.
3. Make sure you're using proper grammar.

4. Get feedback from your receiver to ensure you were properly understood during your
conversation.
 5. A good speaker is a good listener.

6. Have confidence when talking, it doesn't matter what other people think.
7. Don't over-praise yourself in front of your audience.

B) YOUR LISTENING COMPREHENSION SKILLS:

1. Find something you enjoy, and just enjoy! Because you do it, you will probably listen many times,
which will effortlessly improve your English.

2. If you are using a DVD or VCD, use the subtitles to help you see which words or sounds are difficult
for you.

3. After you have advanced a bit, turn the subtitles off (or cover them) to really test your listening
ability.

4. When something seems very fast to you, just focus on the rhythm of English, then worry about the
individual sounds later.

5. Try "shadow practice" as you listen. That means you should try to move your lips as you listen. In
this way, you can do speaking practice and listening practice at the same time.
