Speaking Activities (Slides 12, 16, 18): Pair students up or form small groups for better participation. Summary and Instructions for Users Why Speak English? Communicate globally and increase career opportunities. Make new friends and enjoy traveling with ease. Overcoming Challenges: View mistakes as learning opportunities and focus on communication over perfection. Laugh at your mistakes as they are part of progress. Grammar Tips: Use correct tenses: Present Simple (“I like coffee”), Past Simple (“I went to the park”), Future Simple (“I will call you tomorrow”). Avoid common errors like incorrect subject-verb agreement (e.g., “She go” should be “She goes”). Vocabulary and Phrases: Learn collocations like “make a decision” and “do homework”. Understand phrases, not just words (e.g., “How’s it going?”). Pronunciation Practice: Break words into syllables and stress key words. Use tongue twisters for practice: “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” Listening to Improve Speaking: Engage with English media: podcasts, movies with subtitles, and music lyrics. Joining Conversations: Discuss topics like “What’s your dream holiday?” and share opinions for one minute. Building Confidence: Speak to yourself in front of a mirror, record and review your speech, and take deep breaths to stay calm. Public Speaking Practice: Prepare a short presentation on your favourite book, movie, or hobby, and speak for 2 minutes. Interactive Activity: 20 Questions One person picks a secret object/person/place. Others ask yes/no questions to guess it within 20 tries. Conclusion: Embrace these activities and tips to enhance your English speaking skills, build confidence, and enjoy the process of learning a new language.
