Learning Spoken English In half the time

You have an opportunity for a better paying job, but you need to improve your English before you can apply. Or, you want to enroll in a university for further studies, but your English is not good enough yet.
You have already taken English classes for few years in secondary school. Maybe you have studied more English at the university. You know English grammar and can write, but you need to learn how to speak English.
And you need to improve your spoken English very quickly.
This course will tell you how to retrain your mind—and your tongue—in order to learn fluent spoken English.
With the information from this course, you can learn to speak English in half of the time it normally takes.
Throughout this course we shall emphasize spoken English.
There are four simple rules you must follow when you are learning to speak English:
1. To learn to speak English correctly, you must speak it aloud.
It is important that you speak loudly and clearly when you are studying spoken English. You are retraining your mind to respond to a new pattern of auditory motivation. This can only be done when you are speaking aloud at full volume.
One of the reasons that your English study in school required so much time while producing such poor results is that none of the silent study did anything to train your tongue to speak English.
2. To learn to speak English fluently, you must think in English.
There is cognitive learning (memory) which must also take place while speaking. Grammar-based English instruction has emphasized cognitive learning. Nonetheless, cognitive learning is an important part of learning to speak English fluently.
For speech to occur, your mind must be actively involved in syntax development. The more actively your mind is involved in spoken English, the more effective the learning process becomes.
However, just as you will hinder training by trying to study silently, so you will also limit cognitive learning by reading from a text rather than constructing the syntax in your own mind. If you are studying English, you may use the written text when you first study a new exercise. However, after repeating the exercise two or three times, you must close the text and do the exercise from recall memory as you listen to the audio recording. You must force your mind to think in English by using your recall memory when you are studying spoken exercises. You cannot read from a text.
You are not thinking in English if you are reading. Making your mind work in order to think of the answer is an important part of learning to speak English.
3. The more you speak English aloud, the more quickly you will learn to speak it fluently.
Learning English will require a great deal of repetition to build the new language patterns in your mind. As these new patterns develop, there will be progression from a laborious, conscious effort, to speech which is reproduced rapidly.
When you speak your native language, you do so with no conscious awareness of tongue or mouth position and the air flow through the vocal cords. In contrast, it requires experimentation and conscious effort when you first attempt to make an unknown sound in English—this single sound, usually represented by one letter, is called a phoneme. Some new sounds will be relatively simple for you to make. Others will be more difficult.
That degree of perfection will require thousands—if not tens of thousands—of repetitions. Therefore—to be somewhat facetious—the more quickly you correctly repeat a particularly difficult phoneme ten thousand times, the more quickly you will be able to use it fluently. That is what we mean when we say, "The more you speak English aloud, the more quickly you will learn to speak fluently."


4. You must never make a mistake when you are practicing spoken English.
When you are learning spoken English, you are strongly reinforcing the learning process each time you speak. However, when you construct a sentence incorrectly, you have not only wasted the learning time used to construct that sentence, but you must now invest even more time in order to retrain your mind, mouth, and hearing in order to construct the sentence correctly. The more you use a sentence structure incorrectly, the longer it will take for your mind, mouth, and hearing to identify the correct syntax.
Ideally, if you used only correct syntax and pronunciation, you could retrain your speech in considerably less time. Consequently, you would learn to speak fluent English more quickly.
Traditional English study
Traditional methods of teaching English attempt to engage the students in free speech as quickly as possible. Though the goal is commendable, in practice it has a serious drawback. A beginning student does not have enough language background to be able to construct sentences properly. More to the point, the instruction program seldom has enough teachers to correct every student's errors. Consequently, beginning students regularly use incomplete sentences having incorrect syntax and verb construction. The instructor often praises them for their valiant effort, in spite of the reality that they are learning to use English incorrectly. The student will now need to spend even more time relearning the correct syntax.
