Speaking is one of the four communication skills that English language students enjoy participating in. Many are very interested in improving their fluency and on becoming more confident at communicating in English in different situations.
For this reason, EMS has established a Speaking course which responds to the diverse needs of our students. It will give them lots of practice and opportunities to express themselves in English more confidently.
Conducted two hours daily, the Speaking course is a fun and interactive programme that are both enjoyable and inspirational for students at the Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate levels.
Delivered by qualified and experienced teachers who can support and motivate students to speak better English, the course is aimed at anyone who would like to improve their fluency, accuracy and critical thinking skills.
The teacher’s role is to facilitate the speaking activities and correct any language or pronunciation errors. Also, before the end of the lesson, the teacher gives feedback on how students performed and how they could improve their speaking. So, if you’d like to improve your listening and speaking skills, this course is for you.
What can you expect from the course?
Students can practise speaking in a range of different contexts, using a number of communication techniques and styles relevant to specific situations. So, there will be lots of activities involving:
Discussions
Question and Answer sessions
Critical thinking tasks
Role plays
Presentations
Pronunciation and Fluency practice
Situational dialogues/conversations
How can students improve their English-speaking skills?
There are two ways – one is to attend speaking courses and the other is to find every opportunity to speak in English outside the classroom. Speaking courses can help students put into practice all that they have been learning in their English language class. They help them to improve their listening skills and develop thinking skills in English for better communication. Getting feedbacks from teachers and co-students helps you to speak accurately, appropriately and fluently. Outside the classroom, it is also important to keep practising, no matter what the situation. Do not be afraid of making mistakes – they enable you to self-correct and others to help you improve your speaking skills. This gives you more than what text books provide and thus build your confidence as you become more used to expressing yourself in English.
Which accent is more useful to learn – British or American?
English is widely spoken around the world and accents vary between countries and cultures. For this reason, you don’t need to have an English or an American accent to communicate in English for work, studies or living abroad. What is important is to speak effectively by saying words clearly and knowing what intonation to apply in different situations so that your intentions and messages are understood. It is advantageous to learn in an international environment as provided by the EMS Language Centre in Kuala Lumpur. This is because it gives you the exposure to accents of different nationalities, especially since you are also being taught English by native and non-native speaking teachers from Europe, America, Malaysia, Iran, Budapest and many other countries. Being familiar with various pronunciations and accents prepares you to cope with speaking and listening to English in your future international experience.
