General English

General English is a loose term used to describe the type of English‏‎ required for everyday situations.
You develop communicative competence for social and work-related environments through interactive activities simulating real-life situations.
Language skills addressed include: listening, fluency development, oral intelligibility, reading, grammar, writing, and vocabulary development.

There are five key techniques you can use to develop your active listening skills:

Pay attention.
Show that you’re listening.
Provide feedback.
Defer judgment.
Respond appropriately.

To build your vocabulary and develop your English communication skills, practice and study are essential. Working through practice activities and regularly reviewing the new language you learn can help you accelerate your knowledge and understanding of English.

The first step in improving your speaking skills is actually working on your listening. Listening to English has several benefits – it allows you to pick up new words, phrases, and ways to respond in conversations. Secondly, listening provides opportunities to understand pronunciation, how some words are omitted when speaking, how some are joined together, the rhythm, the intonation, and the sounds of language.

Then you can practice your speaking skills. Regular and consistent practice is the key to success when it comes to speaking English.

Here you can find activities to practise your listening and speaking skills. Listening will help you to improve your understanding of the language and your pronunciation. You can improve your speaking by noticing the language we use in different situations and practising useful phrases.
