HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Find native English speakers

In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

Listen to the music of English

No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.

Slow down

Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!

Record yourself

Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.

Speak English at home

This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.

Recording yourself is a good way to discover your weak and strong points.

Các bạn giúp mình bài này với mình đang cần gấp. Cảm ơn các bạn nhiều

^{Có lẽ phần lớn chúng ta mới chỉ biết đến tiếng Anh như là một ngôn ngữ được sử dụng vô cùng rộng rãi trên thế giới; còn về nguyên nhân tại sao lại có sự phổ biến của ngôn ngữ này thì chưa được biết đến nhiều.} 

Tiếng Anh truyền khắp nơi dưới chủ nghĩa thực dân trong thời kỳ thịnh vượng của Đế quốc Anh. 

Đế quốc Anh khởi nguồn với các thuộc địa và trạm mậu dịch hải ngoại được thiết lập từ cuối thế kỷ XVI đến đầu thế kỷ XVIII, là đế quốc rộng lớn nhất trong lịch sử nhân loại, với thế lực toàn cầu đứng đầu trong hơn một trăm năm, đánh bại cả Napoleon đại đế và khiến Tây Ban Nha - Đế quốc toàn cầu suy tàn. 

✿ ✿ ✿ Vào thời kỳ đỉnh cao của quyền lực (khoảng thế kỷ XIX), đế quốc Anh thường được ví với câu nói "Đế quốc mặt trời không bao giờ lặn", bởi lãnh thổ mở rộng ra toàn địa cầu.

Thời bấy giờ, lãnh thổ của đế quốc Anh dài trên khắp 5 châu lục:

▲ hơn 100 vùng lãnh thổ và các quần đảo hải ngoại

▲ diện tích hơn 33.670.000 km², gần ¼ tổng diện tích toàn cầu

▲ cai trị khoảng 413 triệu người, chiếm 1/5 dân số thế giới lúc bấy giờ.

→ Do đó, những di sản văn hóa, luật pháp, đặc biệt là ngôn ngữ của đế quốc này được truyền bá rộng rãi ở nhiều quốc gia trên thế giới.

☘ Nhiều nhà nghiên cứu ngôn ngữ cho rằng mặt trái của sự phổ biến ngôn ngữ là tiếng Anh đã mất dần vai trò là biểu tượng văn hóa độc quyền của những người gốc nói tiếng Anh, thay vào đó, nó tập hợp những nét văn hóa khác nhau trên thế giới.

Các em thấy sao về nguồn gốc về sự phổ biến của tiếng Anh? Đã bao giờ các em thắc mắc tại sao mình lại học tiếng Anh chưa?
