Links among factors influencing speaking
来源：苏州环球雅思学校作者：张绢花
A majority of students are confused about speaking to different extent. Specifically, some with a tense nerve dare not open their mouth to speak with a worry that they may lose face in front of his teacher and classmates; some could not combine the words in his mind into sentences due to his poor grammar, which influences his fluency greatly; some could not express themselves with a limited vocabulary though they are extremely talkative in Chinese; however, in the meantime, it is another group of students who are facing an embarrassing problem that he cannot make a logical speech within a short time fluently though he has mastered enough vocabulary and grammars. To help them tackle those problems, here, I would like to put forward corresponding solutions and expect that all of students can endeavor to speak more fluent English with more practice, since it is known that practice makes perfect, on condition that an appropriate method is ensured.
1)Timidness
The teacher plays the most important role in dispelling the students’timidness about speaking in front of a stranger, especially in an exam. In classes, the teacher should never criticize them immediately when the students make some mistakes. Instead some praise about his speaking should be
raised to encourage them. On the other hand, teachers should keep a watchful eye on this type of students and never neglect their existence, with only focus on those active students in class.
More care and encouragement may help them remove timidness.
2)Grammar
To improve grammars, the only method is to read more and master the basic sentence structures. Students can make a reading plan and the teacher can show examples to help students to gain the skill of making up sentences. An interesting method is put forward here, that a student can write down several words on a card and try to make up sentences, or even to tell a story.
3)Vocabulary, as another important part of speaking, is
accumulated through insistent study. To extend the vocabulary in
a short time, probably the only method is to recite words
repetitively, in most people’ mind. However, speaking for myself, first of all, collect words in demand and sort them into different groups(definitely, in Global Education, this is done by the teacher); then, to read them once and once again, for about at least 10 times, which is might boring, or to try to make up sentences or stories to remember those words.
4)Logic
Logic is something forgotten by most of students when they are practicing speaking. However, logic is an important factor deciding whether the students can gain a good score in the exam.
To gain good logic, a student can choose a topic to think out any relevant information about that topic; then, arrange them into a group of lines with the order of general, detailed and importance;
when everything is done, try to describe the topic in Chinese logically; finally try to describe it once again in English. More practice, more improvement.
To sum up, in fact, innate quality, grammar, vocabulary, logic as well as pronunciation which can be improved by imitation in a long term determine the students’ success in speaking.。
