The Broken Connection Between Listening to English and Speaking
Most students say they want to improve their speaking, but… they rarely practice speaking due to low confidence. In this podcast series (of 3 episodes), I’ll be explaining the connection between speaking and low-confidence.
In this first episode, I’ll be explaining that broken connection and giving you a special activity to help you understand the reason why you can’t USE the words you know even though you understand them perfectly when you HEAR them.
Students with low confidence usually practice their English by reading and listening. While those are good ways of improving, there is a missing step that makes it very difficult to improve your speaking skills.
