First and formost thing is to make child confortable in his classroom , then once the child becomes confortable he himself will start speaking. While child speaks we need to encourage and at the same time need to rectify his errors and make him understand , why it is important to correct.

As for me, it's just a matter of practice :) Students have to dig deep into the language. An interesting way is to unite students from different countries into one study group. They start to communicate in the target language anyway. It may be challenging, but it's effective. In other words, teachers can create situations where students should speak without preparation.

  • To enhance self confident, students have to practice with their classmates and participate in various presentations. If the student felt that fialure is a necessary part of the progress of learning he or she would be able to express his/her thoughts. One step teacher shpuld apply is involve the students in topics that related to their interests such as games or talking about something that heor she prefer.

All of us learn gradually. It is okay to make mistakes. Listen to your own voice again and again.
