How to teach speaking

  
      Are you pleased with your students' speaking capability? Do you think the progress they are making is perfectly satisfactory? If so, congratulations. If not, take your time reading this essay and try to put what you are told into practice. As far as teaching speaking is concerned, all language teachers are expected to acquire a set of highly influential and carefully planned strategies in which help students with their speaking proficiency. In theory, mostly language teachers are well aware of various proposed methods, but they cannot observe them appropriately in practice. Considering the most advantageous class activities, free discussion, idiomatic expressions, and storytelling could be included.   

       What some teachers mostly complain about is that some of students do not involve themselves in class activities. However, they are trying their best to provide them with authentic materials. The truth is these kinds of teachers have not tried to get students participating actively. One of the finest activities in which majority students take interest is free discussion. Students do enjoy having an opportunity to express their opinions about highly controversial subjects. Avoid talking about clichés, as they send students to sleep. You need to ask each and every students for their views, and by getting them challenged, make them speak as long as they can. Do not interrupt them while speaking. Accuracy must be ignored especially at the beginning levels. Correct their mistakes (vocabulary use, Grammar usage, and mispronunciation) kindly after they finished speaking.

       Another way, facilitating oral proficiency of language learners is commonly used idiomatic expressions. Conclusively, mostly learners are enthusiastic about learning them because idiomatic expressions help them sound more native. You need to exemplify in order to let them know how authentically they are used in a context. Without delay, ask students to contextualize them and correct if they use them wrongly. It is more than ok if you are able to provide the class with some films in which native speakers use these expressions in real contexts, because the process is easy to figure out when it is demonstrated visually.   

          In the end, storytelling is considered another helpful activity, addressing student's speaking ability. Moreover, it is figured to foster creative thinking and imagination. Going through it, the teacher may call a few students at the beginning of each and every session in order to tell a story which they have read in advance. In order for it to be more entertaining, amusing anecdotes is suggested. Interestingly enough, students would better be allowed to make stories of their own, as visualization would get their thinking bettered.

       To finalize, the most significant part of language teacher's job is to better student's communication faculties. Teachers are supposed to generously supply the maximum opportunity to students to speak the target language by providing a rich and challenging environment that contains cooperative work, authentic materials and task, and shared knowledge. Communication skill would serve its purpose if learners express themselves without anxiety and embarrassment.

The cause and effect law

      Thinking about people's lives, I made up my mind to write an article with which one of the finest success laws is concerned. I think today many people are not enjoying their lives and actually do not know how they can lead a life of joy. This article, if profoundly read, could be a turning point in your life and it can lead you to move up in the world. The law I just want to touch upon has unfortunately forgotten by many of us and what we all need is to believe it and by a careful planning, start putting it into practice.

       We all have heard that in order for something to take place- e.g. passing an exam- some events must come about beforehand. What I am going to elaborate on is the law of cause and effect. It simply means effects turn up for some causes. Suppose you want a cup of tea, or juice now, how this inclination turns out to come true? Can you get it if you just think about it and do nothing to reach it? Obviously Not.

      The problem is that many want to achieve their objectives without any attempt to attain. Do you think it is ever possible? There is a law telling us for gaining something, you need to accumulate its causes and juxtapose them in order for it to take place. Potentially, a baby is not born with just a woman or man. Eternally, if causes are not put together, effects are not to happen. In my opinion, it is apparent that we can expect nothing to take place unless we act. This is one of the certain laws of the world; any reaction needs an action. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is concerned with their manner of acting. Putting knowledge into practice is the only quality differentiates between people. Therefore, from now going on, let's start keeping our life controlled and organized in order to see the unexpected results of this law.

       Do not think of a specific thing for along time, because thought is always looking for a way to shrink from responsibilities. Procrastination provides the chance for the thought to find a reason not to do the things you need to. So do not hesitate and start acting. Consider this fact and read the following. It is about the effects of the cause and effect law on our thoughts. I take it for granted that by doing what you are told, you will transform into a highly successful person.

      According to the cause and effect law, if we do something good, the result we get is certainly good. If you say salaam to somebody, he/she will say it back to you. Accordingly, the result of a bad deed is bad.

      Today, all of us are well aware of the effects of thought on our lives. The cause and effect law within the domain of thought is highly influential as it is within the domain of material. Optimistic thought is followed by a positive consequence and a negative one unquestionably is a result of pessimistic thought.

      This is the strength of the cause and effect law and if you appreciate it but observe it not, no one is held responsible for the consequences you get, but yourself. Although many people know this reality, they do not follow it and just complain God of their wretchedness and bad luck. That is because this law says if you intend something bad, what you reach is bad. If one says I am wretched, wretchedness is the sure thing penetrating into his/her life. If you follow the article, I promise you I am able to turn you into one you deserve.

      Majority of us say how can I feel happy and relaxed by these hardships and adversity? How can I feel wealthy when I cannot afford to eat?

      Never is it possible to feel fortunate overnight, and it is also impossible to feel as you are capable of anything overnight. We can achieve our goals in the shadow of effort. Let your day pass the way it does. I do not care to what extent you feel wretched. But I need to have your word, i.e. not to work outside 18 hours a day to succeed.

      The only promise that I want you to give is to work on your thoughts. The only effort one must make is in the field of thoughts, not anywhere else outside. If you work full time outside, you will not feel wealthy because you do not from within. Only put all your efforts on your thoughts and do it as long as you succeed.

      In order to be motivated to act, you need to suggest yourself that you are smart, talented, and ingenious. Refer to the things you know, and little by little, try to change your thoughts. After a period of time, unintentionally, you will change. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Never forget cause and effect law and never think pessimistically. Start practicing right now and be the witness of changes in your life. You will certainly taste the real joy of life.
