Dear all friends,

Having been asked about the good methods for language learning, today I have made a decision to write an article about how to improve English-speaking capability.

A lot of nice methods and techniques regarding English-speaking improvement have been proposed so far, but today I want to let you know my personal experiences and procedures I have been through.

 Fluently and accurately speaking English is a kind of dream for all language learners. I think all of us are capable of it, but it is not achieved without making efforts. Things I want to touch upon today are worth thinking and trying. Therefore, read it profoundly with an open mind, and try to do whatever you are asked to.

Annually, many people emigrate to America and Britain only for learning the international language common all around the world, English. As I am sure you know, the number one way in order for all non-native speakers to elevate their capability of English speaking is to be exposed to the environment, in the first place. In the environment, since, to survive, you are obliged to communicate with people, you will inevitably do your perfect to master the language. Despite the fact that exposure to the authentic context is the finest factor facilitating language learning, this is not an opportunity available for all. Therefore, here, we want to go through the techniques helping you be good at English-communication even at your mother country.

Attending English institutes is one of the common ways, majority of people pick. I personally do agree with it, but sometimes it does not work unfortunately. Its reasons may be the students themselves, or even the teachers. Depending upon the level students are at, teacher's methods for language teaching must differ. Teachers are highly influential in supporting or demoralizing students for learning. I personally believe the teacher's methods must be mostly based on speaking. My suggestion, if you think your teacher does not have a good method for teaching speaking, do not squander your time, energy, and money. Abandon it for a better one as immediate as possible.

In parenthesis, I should add that a good teacher is one, trying to get students stimulated to speak by having free discussions, and teaching useful expressions.  Discussions must be of student's favorites. Highly controversial and challenging issues taking place in the world, or the country in which learners have different views about are the best choices. I think language teachers must let the learners express themselves without any restrictions. It helps students be motivated in class activities and not send learners to sleep during the class time.

Although, today, learning English is a necessity for all, being busy, some people do not have enough free time to attend any classes. For that reason, self-study, now, is the best option they get through. They think by watching movies, listening to radio, and even reading different English texts, they can make substantial improvement in speaking. To some extent, some of them improve, but it is a big mistake to suppose one is able to reach fluency and accuracy by self-study at the beginning levels. Unfortunately, for not getting the results, after a short period, some get bored and quit studying.

For your better conversation improvement, first of all, you must be enough motivated and determined. Then, choose an institute to attend. Like I said, teacher, in your selection, must be of highly significance. The books you are taught are also important. I do not want to give my personal suggestion about it, but Interchange books are more common and authentic.

 Many language learners do not feel good about their accents and pronunciations. They are looking for some ways to make it sound native. Actually, there is no good or bad accent. Its acceptance by native speakers is the whole point. In order for you to speak with a natural accent, imitation of an American or British one, whichever suits you well, is obligatory. To put it simply, I mean we must pick a native speaker we are interested in his/her pronunciation, accent, and speaking manner, and then mimic them. At the beginning stages, it is sort of ridiculous, and may others poke fun at you. However, by every day practice, you will approach what you already have aimed at.

 Few hours' exposure to English class does not suffice for authentic language learning. At this stage, your main job begins. Frankly speaking, if you want your speaking capability to improve, you need to speak a lot. Here, a very typical problem arises, that is having no one to talk to out of the class. Do not make this mistake; you have yourself to talk to. Speak by yourself about whatever in which you take interest. Doing it in front of a mirror has a major impact. You just need to let the words come out of your mouth regardless of whether the sentences you produce are grammatically well formed.

 Another aspect concerning with speaking efficiency that is worth mentioning is vocabulary learning.  Memorizing words in isolation does not work. You need to learn them in context. After you learned the usage of a word, place it in context by your own sentences. It helps you both converse better and activate words.

من خدایم که همه کوی مرامیجویند  

همه ذرات فلک حمدمرامیگویند

من خدایم که همه راه مرامی پویند

همه جانها به یدقدرت من می رویند

همه چیزوهمه کس درهمه جا مال من است

دل هر جامد وجنبده بدنبال مت است

آن زمانی که زمان یادندارد چه زمان

درمکانی که مکان یادندارد چه مکان

نه شبی بود ونه روزی و نه چرخی به جهان

نه پری بود ونه جبریل نه دوزخ نه جنان

دل من درپی یک واژه ی بی خاتمه بود  

اولین واژه که آمد به نظر فاطمه بود

ز تفیل گِل او ساخته ام دنیا را  

من به عشق رخ او ساخته ام طه را

میل او بود بسازم علی اعلی را 

جبریل و ملک آدم وپس حوا را

از ازل تا به ابد هرکه و هرکس هستند 

همه مدیون رخ فاطمه من هستند

به خداوندی خود فاطمه ام بی همتاست

فاطمه چون من تنها به دو عالم تنهاست

ای پدر ای منجی ایمان ما       ای کلامت معنی قرآن ما

ای ظهورت معنی پایان درد       ای نگاهت گرمی دلهای سرد

ای پدر ای یادگارآسمان       ای که آغوشت پناه بی کسان

حرف توتفسیررحمانیت است       زندگی دراوج انسانیت است

کارتوشمشیروخون وتیغ نیست       کارتوجزرافت وتدبیرنیست

آه آقا وای ما و وای ما       وای ازاین افکاربی معنای ما

وای ما آتش به خرمن میزنیم       تهمت گردن بریدن میزنیم

تو زماآگاهی و ماجاهلیم        بین ماهستی و ما بس غافلیم

نیمه شب های تواشک است و دعا       تودعاگویی براین احوال ما

تومیایی تازمین زیبا شود       مهربانی منطق دلهاشود

حرف توتفسیررحمانیت است       زندگی دراوج انسانیت است

هرکه گوید غیرازاین است لال باد       حال اودربدترین احوال باد

بازبارانی شده چشمان من       کی می آیی یوسف کنعان من؟

مهربانی کن بیا کم ناز کن       راه دیدار خودت را باز کن

شاعر: پرویز قره باقری

شاید آن روز که سهراب نوشت

تاشقایق هست زندگی باید کرد

خبری ازدل پردرد گل یاس نداشت

باید این طورنوشت

چه شقایق باشد چه گل میخک ویاس

جای یک گل خالیست

تانیاید مهدی زندگی دشوار است
