This is a very simple Spoken English Exercise to understand, but one of the most difficult when it comes to doing it. The exercises that I am discussing, are a set of activities which I had done in my English Improvement Course, and found them very useful.

Though there could be many exercises for English improvement, but I will stress that today's exercise is very important, and must be practiced and performed on as many occasions as possible.




To make the students speak in public places, so as to take out the fear of public speaking/Seminars within him/her. To build confidence in the speaker to speak in public.

• This exercise can be practiced alone, but must be performed in a class.
• A person who is good in English is supposed to be mentoring the session.

1. Assign the class a time of 15 min, and ask them to speak on any topic they are comfortable with for at least 3 min.
2. Let the students prepare for 15 min on their topic of choice, then call them one by one.
3. Ask the person to speak for at least 2-3 min in front of the class.
4. Let the person complete the task and do not interrupt in between. Make sure no one laughs in the class at mistakes, since this is very demotivating and embarrassing.
5. After the task is done, inform the student about his mistakes and areas of improvement.
6. Repeat with all the students.

This exercise sounds simple, but believe me it's the most dangerous of all. I have seen people shiver before getting called on the stage for their turn to speak. The basic aim is to boost the confidence level of the speakers for public speaking. The key is practice and consistency.
