Speaking * “I have learned English for five years and I cannot speak at all!” For intensive speaking * Prefer fluency to accuracy * Forget the noise in the classroom * Let them imitate * Avoid unpleasant criticism * Give good instruction * Prepare as much as you can in advance ? … but you can write, can´t you? Even if you do learn to speak and write correct English, whom are you going to speak and write it to ? Clarence Darrow (1857-1938)
