Fear of Speaking:
- If we were born and brought up in a society where English is first language, then we would have been experts in speaking English naturally.
- Many students don’t get an opportunity to speak English.
- Writing and speaking are two different skills.
- Writing is a slow process and the brain gets time to frame words while we write. But speaking is a fast process where we don’t get much time to frame words. So we need to frame words very quick while we are speaking.
- That is possible only when we practice continuously.
- We fear that we may not speak correctly. So, we don’t speak in English.
- We fear that people will laugh at us if we make mistake.
- For that many experts advise us to talk in front of a mirror.
- Yes. Partially that can be done. The person who is in front of the mirror is you. The person in the mirror may not laugh at your mistakes. He may not be able to correct your mistakes. He will not be able to guide you.
- So you need to talk to a person who wouldn’t laugh at you and who corrects, guides, teaches and enhances your English speaking skills.
- English language lab does the same thing. It teaches you a sequential manner so that you improve your skill faster and accurately.
- English language lab is a virtual mentor to enhance English skills.
