A GUIDE TO HAVE BETTER SPEAKING CLASSES Speaking ability causes the biggest anxiety in most of the speakers of English as a foreign language. In some countries people (try to) measure each others' knowledge of English by the judgement of their speaking skills. There is a relatively reasonable cause for this: Speaking; uttering sounds, putting words together and making a sentence and sounding somewhat natural is the most apparent way of showing the knowledge we have in mind. In this guide, I will give you some ideas to implement in your speaking classes. I gained those ideas in a couple of years teaching English to different age groups and students with different levels. I found and developed some of the ideas. Especially the ones (8 of them) that I myself discovered and that are completely my original ideas showed their efficacy. I am hopeful that this guide will be of big help and make things easier for you and your students. Please consider the sensitivities of your students while doing these activities. You will find 10 +4 activity ideas in the guide. Have fun and fruitful classes!
