How to teach speaking - Teacher Training video

Do you teach English? A speaking lesson entails so much more than just speaking. There are many elements a teacher needs to think about, record and develop in students such as:

English pronunciation
This includes prosody, connected speech and the areas and manner of articulation.

Grammar and structures, Vocabulary, Markers, Linkers, Fillers, Back-channeling, functions and strategies for things like turn-taking.

This video explains the terminology teachers should be familiar with in order to receive complete training in teaching speaking. I also offer tips to implement in your classes today to help students improve English fluency and communicative competence.

My top tip is to make it as student-centred as possible. Try to get students talking in pairs and small groups as much as possible. Avoid the teacher talk time!

I am not sure why this hasn't got as many likes it truly deserves. As a CELTA grad, this is indeed helpful. Thank you Sir.

Hi teacher. Just found you here. I'm not a professional teacher but I've been always so dedicated to learn english and now I'm starting my dream of being a teacher. I am advanced level but all by myself. Thank you for the tips. I want to be a great teacher someday and help people to achieve their dreams with this language.

You are a great presenter and instructor. Although I have been teaching for 25 years, I gained a lot of knowledge from you. Thanks.

Im teaching in Japan, they LOVE Memorizing without reason or context here. I have one student who has been studying english through schools longer than ive been alive (im in my 30s) and she still can not have a simple conversation.

When she became my student a few years ago, i looked at her notebooks. every one of them was filled front to back with english sentences that were translated to japanese and memorized as a set piece.

So she sounds fluent, but its like trying to talk to a soundboard... because nothing ever quite makes sense or flows.

Ive spent the past few years trying to break her out of those phrasal responses and get her to build her own sentences. Its a very very bad situation here in Japan.

This is extremely helpful... thanks for sharing this lot sir.. I am from India and I've started teaching spoken English here.. I was very worried how to begin... U see there's so much you know as a teacher and there's so less that your students know... There becomes a deliverance gap... Though I'm hoping to get better in my work with time and with th help of your videos

[guruprivatbahasainggris]

[Mlydon]

Thank you very much for this interesting and informative video. I’m about to begin the intensive CELTA course, and this video is definitely a good start to my training. I’m also now going to be much more aware of how myself and others converse!! 😅

[anifelestrella]

Hi teacher, really handy these piece of information relocated to speaking test. Thanks a million of times. To ur life wish u more than best...

[pradeepmalkani]

Awesome! Everything was "quality", "quantity", "relational", and "mannerly". Thats how I would phrase it....but .it was also so cool. I used the "conjunction" as well. A big slap on the back, to Gringo Jay! Shukran!

[maksatmenligulyyev]

Hi there.
You should've continued the series. I couldn't find the rest. I really liked the video: organisation of the subject, presentation, voice, setting, lights etc
