Years of teaching English have brought me a great deal of interesting observations about the ways that adult learners use to improve their English speaking skills.
Doing written exercises is one of the most loved by a good number of students.
Why?
Because sets of written exercises are always included in all kinds of entrance tests and final exams.
Gone are the days when the examiners talked to their students trying to test their knowledge during a short conversation on a topic with asking questions and checking student's abilities to react adequately on various language tasks.
Patterns with correct answers have become a usual procedure for checking the students' choices for receiving a needed number of points for winning a lucky entrance/ passing ticket.
Such a method of learning English may work for passing tests of a high school, but
will not work for developing your speaking skills.
In my video lessons I give the basic rules of saying sentences in all tenses active and passive voice and offer drills to practice your speaking skills.
Remember: speaking is developed only thru speaking,
practicing, trying to create sentences, react on questions and asking all kinds of questions. In short-being able to communicate in English.
Here's another video lesson of my video course :
Learning English Grammar Tenses.
