How Chinese Student Can Develop Their English Speaking Skills Quickly

Chinese encounter a dilemma with regards to speaking the English language. Although they have been learning the language from elementary school up to university, their performance in speaking English is still unsatisfactory.

Looking at the language environment, it is divided into the social language environment and the teaching language environment. In the home environment, we can learn be good at speaking our dialect while we can be skillful with Potunghua in a teaching environment. We do not have an English social environment. We can only experience that when we are in a learning environment where students can learn better.

We need to understand the process of language development. We pick up the skills in speaking prior to learning how to read and write. It is a human biological instinct to perceive sound by listening to a voice and we can give response through producing a speech. In school we are trained to memorize the words and the aim for the exam is to test the knowledge with reading and writing yet, it is crucial to foster more in speaking and listening. Therefore, it is important to prioritize speaking and listening skill developement than writing and reading skills. So, we should speak more in English.

Another difficulty for Chinese students is the lack of timely feedback.

The most important thing of a good coache is to give accurate and timely feedback to athletes so they will know if they did a good performance or not. Even if you memorize more than 1000 useful dialogues but you have no one to practice it with and/or give you corrections, it will still be meaningless. It is also important to train ourselves to talk with someone with a higher level English proficiency than us.

If a person really wants to learn master the English language, he must study with an English environment. In Asia, some English programs emply mainly foreign teachers from the Philippines. Compared to other countries, most Filipinos can speak English like a native speaker of America. If you have a little understanding of the history of the Philippines, you know that the Philippines was actually colonized by the United States for a total of 48 years from 1898 to 1946. For nearly half a century, the United States not only shaped the culture and the political system of the Philippines, but also brought the linguistic governance. This has led to the fact that English is now the official language of the Philippines aside from their national language.
