How to Encourage English Department Student to Speak more often and Confidently
1. Read Texts Out Loud
Reading fluency is simply the ability to read a book or text clearly. You correct your pronunciation mistakes until you make no errors.
Choose a text that is approximately 75-200 words long. Pick something that you think you can read easily, such as a book from one of your English classes, or even a book recommended by a friend.
If you are nervous about speaking in front of others, start reading aloud by yourself at home. As you feel more confident, ask a lecturer or a native English speaker to give you feedback on more advanced vocabulary.
2. LPR (Listen, Practice, and Record)
- Listen along to a recording while reading the text at the same time.
- Practice reading with the recording until you are confident.
- Record your own voice. Listen and compare. It is correct or not.
Find another text to read and repeat again, again, and again.
3. Join Online Forums That Use English
Joining an online forum means you can interact with native English speakers. It also gives you a chance to practice your English outside the classroom without leaving the comfort of your own home.
4. Trust Your Lecturer
Making mistakes is very important because you can see which areas you need to work on. The key is to try not to make the same mistake twice.
Your lecturer is there to celebrate your accomplishments. They want to encourage you to continue practicing, and will tell you what you are doing right.
If you want to feel more comfortable in class, try to get to know your lecturer better. It is ok to ask personal questions such as their hobbies or why they decided to become lecturer. If you share information about yourself you will feel more comfortable sharing your frustrations about learning English.
5. Work in Groups of Five or Smaller
Many people get very nervous if they have to speak in front of large audiences. Try speaking English to others in smaller groups to build up confidence.
Share mistakes or stories of miscommunication with each other. The more you laugh off how funny these types of mistakes these are, the less you’ll feel scared.
6. Remember Why You Want to Learn English
It is natural to feel frustrated if you are not confident that you are progressing. Whenever you feel this way, it is important to remind yourself of why you started learning English.
However, don’t rely on an external goal to motivate yourself. Rather, you need to find out why you want to learn English for yourself.
For example, you want to improve your English because of your obligation. Because you are English Departmemt Student. So, you have to study hard to be succes.
What’s your motivation for learning English?
