WAYS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS IN ENGLISH
CLASSES

School № 31, English teacher
I'm proud to have chosen English as my major and become an English teacher at
school therefore, I determined to be a good English teacher. This means I would be
responsible to help my students with their English learning. I want my students to like
English and make great progress in it. And I would like to make some comments on
improving students' speaking skills. Making students speak more English in the classroom is
not only a matter of "forcing" them to speak. This demands good preparation of proper
material and implementation must be progressive and systematic which demands more
teacher's workload. I mean, lots of those teachers who learned what and how to do in the
classroom, as a teacher, simply don't do as they are supposed to. They seem as though they
don't like to work much. No way! Teachers need to work much so they accomplish the
teacher's role.
Speaking is so important in my opinion, in acquiring and using a language, and
language-competence covers so many aspects. Phonetics, both theory and practice constitute
the basis of speaking above all other aspects of language in my opinion. Speaking is a tool
of communication. And pronunciation is the foundation of speaking. Good pronunciation
may make the communication easier and more relaxed and thus more successful. In English
many words can have the same pronunciation but be written differently with different
meanings. For example "to, two, and too" which all have the phonetic transcription.
Sometimes, words can be written similarly but have different pronunciations as in the
"ough" combinations thought, though, bough, and through. The students are indicated with
the International Phonetic Alphabet and followed by examples and exercises dealing with
contrasting sounds, recognition and dictation. For high school students to improve
pronunciation skills of the students in high school, exercise them through reading some text
provided in the course book is a good way. The teacher read those text first then ask them to
repeat, if they do mistake in pronounce the words or sentences, it is the teacher‘s job to
correct. Beside through reading text, practice the conversation in front of the classroom can
be a way to improve their pronunciation beside to improve reading skill.
In this level, for senior high school, the should become aware with the common word
stress patterns and begin become familiar with IPA (but the teacher should underline the
aim of pronunciation for them is just to know how to pronounce words with good stress). In
this level, students should be able to pronounce irregular verbs as well. (Students in this
level commonly do not pronounce the last letter of any words, ie; went (wen), left (lev),
right (raik).
My first attempt is making a rule of speaking for the class. I tell my students:
'Speaking is the only way you can express yourself. You have an equal chance to speak, and
