Spoken English

Spoken English


In order to be able to learn any language whether spoken or written, one needs at least 60 hours to 72 hours teaching-learning time. This is the principle followed by every language trainer. Where spoken English is concerned, one needs to undergo an entire language learning course. This course is designed in such a way that one understands the essentials of grammar, sentence construction and vocabulary.
Some trainers go a step ahead and add modules for accent neutralization, so that the student can speak English without the mother tongue effect. This is important, as people in India have strong mother tongue effect where their accent is concerned, because of which it becomes all the more difficult to understand them when they speak basic, survival English.
Another additional module is that of written English. However, written English is taught in detail in advanced English language classes. In the basic class the student is taught basic written English, which will help them correspond basic written communication messages.
