To help students build up self-confidence
3.1 To help students build up self-confidence
Confidence is a prerequisite for people to work well. To those students who study foreign languages, confidence is also and even more important. We all perform best when we are confident about ourselves. Speaking in a foreign language is not easy. It is inevitable that we all make mistakes. Therefore, it is very[URL=http://www.fcsgame.com/]world of warcraft gold[/URL] important for teachers to create a relaxed and supportive environment and help students build up their confidence. Only when students feel confident and comfortable to speak, will they participate actively in the activities and tasks teachers design for them; and only by more participation and more practice can they improve their speaking fluency.
Here are some tips for the teachers to help build students’ confidence in the speaking class:
(1) “Try to create a relaxed atmosphere in the classes so that most learners are not afraid of speaking in front of the rest of the class.
(2) Do as many speaking activities as possible in pairs and groups, so that the learners can speak English without the rest of the class listening.
(3) Introduce an element of [URL=http://www.fcsgame.com/dofus-kamas.htm]Dofus Kamas[/URL]fun into classroom practice. Students can become easily bored with repetition of drills. Teachers can use competition, invention or trying to find something out through guessing to make the practice more like a kind of game.
(4) Arrange classroom seats in a comfortable way. The way that classroom seats are arranged is essential in encouraging [URL=http://www.just4gold.com/age-of-conan-gold.html]Age of Conan Gold[/URL]communication. Arranging seats in a large circle or semi-circle in rows facing each other increases communication.
(5) Give the students more encouragement. After students finishing their speaking in class, teachers should encourage them. Try to find ways to demonstrate to the learners that they are making progress all the time.
(6) Be careful with error correction. Learners are always motivated when they find they can actually do something with the language.”
3.2 To stimulate the students’ learning interest
We should better develop [URL=http://www.dofus-kamas.cc]dofus kamas[/URL]students’ interest in English at the beginning of study. To develop interest in English study is not very hard. We may have the feeling of satisfaction and achievement from our English study when we are able to say something simple in English, talk with others or foreigners in English and act as others' interpreters.
Teachers should provoke the students’ imagination, arouse their interests, get the students’ attention, stimulate their minds and gain [URL=http://www.fast-wowgold.com]FFXI Gil[/URL]their interest. The teacher needs to create as many opportunities as possible to make the students from “have to” to “want to” speak English. The teacher needs to devise meaningful situations and design effective tasks. When students feel motivated to learn a language, they must practise. The more practice they do, the better their oral English will be.
