Among the four skills of English, speaking, along with writing, is understandably a key productive communication skill that can be quite challenging. It is often the case that learners of English find writing easier, as they have more time to consider the rules of language as they compose an email or a letter. Speaking, however, is often more challenging for learners for a variety of reasons, which can affect their confidence in spoken communication. The British Council has designed myClass lessons with this challenge in mind. Whether it’s for study, work or life, myClass provides lessons tailored to help you with your spoken communication in a more effective way.
Apart from the guidance from teachers and opportunity for communication in your myClass lessons, you are advised to study and practise speaking English on your own with others outside the classroom to improve your confidence and improve in your fluency. Here we have provided a list of activities, materials, websites, and videos for a wide range of levels that you can use solely for this purpose.
