Comments for Speaking Class
April 17, 2007
“It was really a live show!” With attractive voice, Harry played a successful role in speaking class. The authentic environment Billy and Harry built triggered my learning motivation as well. Furthermore, I found the website they provide very useful and interesting. Although having seen this website last semester, I still felt amazed and beneficial. As the role-play part, it was a good practice and that can aid students in applying vocabulary and sentence patterns. By the way, I am really afraid of calculation! That made me think of my experience in America. During those days, I always felt nervous when buying things since I couldn’t remember the worth of coins at first and gave the wrong one. It was also a big problem for me to count service charge every meal. What’s more, once my friend and I made a joke while ordering. The waiter asked us “soup or salad?” Since he said very quickly, we heard of “super salad” and asked him “super salad?” The waiter got confused immediately and we also felt very embarrassed. However, that was a good and practical experience for me. Through that kind of practice, my listening and speaking abilities progressed a lot.

I had similar experiences when studying in the US. But as you say, the challenges in the English-speaking environment were beneficial to our listening comprehension and speaking ability. This reminds us of the importance of creating a desirable learning environment for our learners, in which they could immerse themselves into the target language learning. Billy and Harry did give us some good ideas, didn’t they?
