In this research, I’m going to focusing on the English as a language is being taught in many countries oversea today including Thailand. In fact, you’ll be surprising to know that English is required for many of the students in many countries. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily taught as well as it could be because of heavy teaching load, class sizes and adequate technology. Learning an English today still's has been challenging for many countries and specifically in Thailand. In Thailand, the student often gets too overwhelmed with English and mentally tune out in the classroom because English was their least favorite subjects. On the other hand, the students don’t have a resource at school or they don’t have it enough. Furthermore, many students just go to English class and switch back to Thai as soon as they out of school. English isn't used locally in Thailand. Although, there still a lot students continue care about English language because English has been the most ordinarily utilized language internationally and the language of traffic control and the majority of academic journals. It’s the most common language on the internet and the language that travelers use to communicate with different native speakers.

1) 1.1 Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults in all walks of life and at any age whether it be with relatives, friends, neighbours, colleagues, associates or even total strangers.

Included in the article are results of children in varies school showing the lack of language skills. The author works on suggesting intervention programs to have a positive effect on these skills that need improvement throughout the school education. Surveys and researchers believe that about half of teachers are decreasing speaking and listening skills in the past five years. Practicing skills of talking and listening are essential. Mentioned in the article, “language difficulties are that children have problems in three areas: accessing curriculum on language related tasks, interaction and social skills, and attention span towards learning” in the classroom (pg. 658). This article worked on intervention program for teacher to train students to improve their language skills on standardize exams. In my opinion, having the ability to speak is a way to communicate and share ideas and thoughts with others, and express feelings on how one feels. Listening skills are processed after we hear something. It involves one’s attention and decision to participate in a discussion and respond to message. Also, it requires the ability to focus on the conversation without being distracted, but having a meaningful connection with

As this research is a case study, the participants of the study were chosen from the students of the Department of Foreign Language Education (FLE) at Middle East Technical University (METU).FLE students at METU are generally graduated from teacher training high schools. In high school, they are usually taught English very well. However, the English lessons in high schools are commonly based on grammar and reading skills. Listening and especially speaking are the least important skills because of the fact that the university entrance exam is prepared to measure students’ grammar and reading skills. Unlikely, Department of FLE at METU aims to make its students fully qualified language teachers. For that purpose, its curriculum includes listening and speaking courses, as well as reading, writing, grammar and English

Archakis (2006) states that the communicative approach has recently prevailed. The purpose of language teaching is to help learners to practice relevant cases of communication. According to the communicative approach the language teaching has to be directly interrelated with contextual components. The stress of language teaching needs to be language use in social events, that is, students should be aware of the socio cultural and sociolinguistic skills for appropriate language use. Oral discourse is an entity of a range of discourse genres such as a lecture, conversation. Oral speech should be taught on a regular bases involving students in various activities and social circumstances. The teaching of oral discourse should be centered on the specific features of oral speech that promotes participation. It is very helpful for students as contemporary society concentrating on oral conversational speech and its peculiar daily used devices. This leads learners to the production of dramatization, interpersonal contribution, arguing competence as well as building identity as critical

Introduction: The importance of English language acquisition as a stepping-stone for proficiency in school subjects cannot be over emphasized. The knowledge of English is important both for educational, national and economic development of a country. English is the official language of administration and commerce and also a major language of science. It should be further highlighted at the need for improving the quality of spoken and written English language among children. Although English language retains its dominant position in the education delivery system, the thrust of our educational language policy is the use of the mother tongue or the language of the

Oral communication for English language learners can be easier than learning how to read and write. English language learner’s students might have a fear of speaking however it is the teacher’s responsibility to make the student’s feel comfortable in speaking the English language. When English language learners learn the English language then they will be able to communicate with people and in the classroom. In the article An Urgent Challenge: Enhancing Academic Speaking Opportunities for English Learners, it was mentioned that in order to engage English language learner students in a conversation, a teacher must have to model and clearly teach them how to engage in a conversation (Wilson, Fang, Rollins, & Valadez, 2016, P. 53). This is what

This course is for urban as well as rural people. This course is for students, housewives, retired or working people who lack communication skills. For personal development, they need to improve their language ability. This course will cater those people who want to learn this language for social needs, migration purpose. For example, when a person goes to restaurants like Subway, CCD or KFC, he or she faces the problem at the counter as the person on the counter is speaking good English. The customer is unable to explain his requirements about the food, he wants. They hesitate and take the order according to service to save themselves from embarrassment. In this course, our target is to meet the needs of those people who do not have background of English, who do not have environment to speak in English. The people who want to learn for general requirements, social needs and status symbol. Conversational English is survival communication. For example, parents who are not good in English face problems during admission process in schools, during parent-teacher meetings and while interacting with their own children who are good at

It seems that learning a foreign language has never been an easy job and it takes a lot of time, sometimes all your life to master it (Brown, 2000). Among the four main skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing, the first one could be considered the most challenging and the most crucial because it includes “all other kinds of knowing” (Ur, 2012). Until now, I can still remember how difficult it was to develop this particular skill when I was in high school. In this essay, I will clearly describe my learning experiences as a grade-ten student trying to improve the speaking skill through English lessons at high school.

Teaching is made up of different important ingredients which are important for its success or failure; we have among them the methods of teaching, classroom management, teacher’s assessment and evaluation, students’ behaviors, classroom settings, and other conditional factors which are crucial for its completion. Before attending the training in this school, there were many elements that lead us to go there and many questions need answers. First as a student we have noticed before in our learning process in the secondary school that most of students neglect the subjects of the foreign languages such as English because of many factors. The aim therefore was to observe a class from the literary and the scientific stream to find out which stream is given much more importance to EFL learning. Second, as a would be teacher, we want to bridge the gap between theory and practice; that is to be trained for teaching in
