SPEAKINGOVERCOMING THE BARRIER
THERE ARE A FEW SIMPLE WAYS...
Use your time in the classroom effectively (pairwork!!!)
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes (I mean – accuracy is important, but communication is more important)
Learn to listen to others and comment on what they say, also: listen to learn (new words, structures, techniques) – from your peers
Structure what you say – be clear and logical
Remember to be positive about speaking YOU CAN SPEAK
Whenever possible, try to use new words while talking – activate your vocabulary
Speak English whenever you can (with foreigners, family members, friends)
