Improve English Speaking Skills Everyday (Tips to speak in English) English Conversation Practice

hello excuse me good morning are you an English

teacher good morning yes I am an English  teacher why how can I help you oh great  

I have been looking for an English  teacher for about 1 hour well since  

this is an English Institute it shouldn't  have been that difficult to find an English

teacher but tell me how can I help you are  you a student from this institute what's your

name my name is Simon and well I am  not your student but I need you to  

help me sure just tell me your problem  and I will do the possible to help you

Simon thank you teacher well basically  I need to know the best words to learn

English I mean how can I choose the right  course to learn and speak English I need to  

know that H that's kind of difficult question  you can find videos about different topics on  

YouTube yes I know I can learn English with  YouTube but what if I want to take or buy  

an English course maybe I want to invest  some money or can I find a free course but  

a good one I need your help oh okay then  you need to know how to choose the right  

English words for you sure I can help you I  understand choosing an English course can be

overwhelming a lot of free English material  available online is of poor quality I get  

that most of the time it actually makes  you even more confused and overwhelmed  

than before and let me tell you something  Simon this is very harmful for your learning

process and that's not all so many  English courses teach English the wrong

way you end up wasting time and money  on useless language exercises that don't  

bring results so how do you know which  courses will provide you with the best

value I will tell you the most important  things to look for when choosing an English

course first the most important you have to  look for qualified and experienced teachers  

the quality of teachers is a very important  component in any course that teachers can be  

confusing they lack the knowledge and skills  needed to teach English in an effective

way this results in a students Los in confidence  and motivation believe me in fact the number one  

reason for students quitting English courses  is because they don't like their teacher it  

happened to me when I was at the school I  had a terrible teacher in first grade she  

used to speak only in English but our level of  English was really poor so no one understood  

her so when we had to participate in the  class we hated it because we couldn't do

it I think that was one of the main  reasons why many of my partners hated

English so it shouldn't come as a surprise  that we put teacher quality and credentials so  

high in the list and I want you to understand  something really really important Simon pay  

attention teaching a language is a specialized  skill just because someone can speak a language  

it does not mean they can teach it well  and just because a teacher is a native

speaker doesn't mean that they are a good  teacher and it is totally true I will tell  

you an example 5 years ago I was working  in a very known institution they decided  

to hire a native teacher students got excited  because he was from the United States everyone  

wanted to study with him but unluckily he was  not good at teaching I mean his pronunciation  

was perfect but soon everyone realized he was  not a teacher he was just a native English  

speaker he got fired at the end teaching a  language required s knowledge of grammar and

Linguistics as well as communication strategies  after all we learn the language for the purpose of

communicating and we need to learn the  different modes of communication encompassing

writing speaking pronunciation intonation  and even body language each one of them are

important therefore it is important  that English teachers have a strong  

background in teaching with years of

experience I mean I thought I was a good teacher  when I was starting teaching this beautiful

language and maybe I was not that bad but  there are some things that you only learn by

experience I have been teaching English for  more than 15 years and I can tell you that's

true so finding the right teacher is probably  the most important thing you have to do

first because imagine that the material is  not modern or good enough maybe it's boring  

as a teacher let me tell you something  we can have the worst material ever but  

a good teacher can make you learn English  regardless of the resources he or she has  

it happened to me when I was teaching  in an English Institute the resources

were okay I have to be honest the  material they provided me was awful  

really boring old books ugly videos the  audio was horrible there were no images or

flashcards I have to confess something  I never use that material in class

never what I did was I made my own  teaching material on my own I thought  

it was better and I did it more than once  because that's what a good teacher does

seriously there are no excuses our goal is  you to speak English that is the goal of  

an English teacher happily now I can make my  own material this video you're watching right

now I designed this and the others on  the channel after many years of teaching

experience that's why choosing your English  

teacher is really really  important do you understand

yes I understand but that is not the  only thing I have to keep in mind right  

no of course not there are more things you  have to look for when choosing the right

course but I will tell you that in next video  because now we don't have more time only if you  

want it I hope you liked this conversation if you  could improve your English a little more please
