Listening and speaking

VOCABULARY GAMES

It is very important for people to develop their vocabulary in order to understand information and communicate with accuracy. For this reason, we have included a variety of vocabulary games to stimulate all participants in the course. Learning should also be fun!

Vocabulary games include:

• Drag the word into the correct boxes
• Find the words
• Give one word for the description
• Crossword puzzles
• Complete the sentences

These games have the purpose of enhancing students’ logic and reasoning, word recognition, general vocabulary and vocabulary within specific contexts.

AI SPEECH APP

These are fun activities! Students are required to listen carefully as words are spoken and attempt to spell them correctly. Some words are relatively easy while others are more challenging. Students will have the opportunity to listen carefully and hone their spelling competencies. 

The AI app also allows students to read and speak on topics and pictures. This app is empowering as it gives immediate feedback allowing students to refine their pronunciation and even improve their grammatical structures and sentence construction.

PRIMARY LISTENING AND SPEAKING

Listening actively is a life skill that is worth developing. Effectively listening can prevent misunderstandings and even conflict. This course includes a Listening Comprehension to encourage students to hone their listening skills. There are also a number of listening exercises where students are required to listen carefully to short monologues and dialogues and then answer questions. There is even a map that students are required to navigate by listening to directions. 

The Primary Speaking course comprises three lessons on speech writing and presentations. A speech is far more than its content and students have to learn to speak with confidence and credibility. These lessons cover prepared, unprepared and persuasive speeches. What follows is the Listening Comprehension and then the Listening exercise lessons.

Do you feel that you are a competent public speaker and love sharing your thoughts with others? Are you the person who has others in stitches of laughter when you describe an ordinary event? Possibly you have ideas that could shape other people’s thinking and these you would like to explore? Boston Language Speaking Community is the forum that connects aspirant public speakers, not only those who would like to present formal speeches, but those who would like to communicate ideas and discuss concepts.

Presenting a speech takes courage and determination. Not only do you have to focus on the content and structure of your speech but you have to present it in a way that grips the audience’s attention and keeps them enthralled. Boston Language School is committed to improving the speaking skills of our students because speaking with conviction and confidence is a life skill worth developing. Look out for our speaking competitions that will be held regularly to develop your speaking competence and self-assurance.
