The only key to unlock the mystery of honing is PRACTICE, PRACTICE & PRACTICE.

FACT … Remember that learning a language is a gradual process - it does not happen overnight & it is not a computer that is either on or off! .

So just have patience…

The major components for achieving efficiency in language are –

Written communicationOral communicationBoth are equally important and results can be

attained after following proper steps.

Define your learning objectives early: What do you want to learn and why at a time?

Now coming down the tips Written skills- 1- Learn Basic Grammar 2- Precise writings 3- Form the habit of writing dairies pour your heart,

the best is self assessment in an isolated place.4-Take the help of dictionary and grammar book

while writing. 5- Devote your best 20 mins in coping & writing from

any standard articles and some interesting topics. 6- Try to get the meaning of tough words and

produce the sentences of your own.“ Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready

man; and writing an exact man”.

Speak, speak & speak….Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language.

So start with… i. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak

English well and try to imitate them.

ii. Use the dictionary with phonetics symbols.

iii. Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.

iv. Buy books on tape.

v. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.

vi. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.

vii. Watch the English news on television channels like Star World, CNN, BBC and English movies on Star Movies and HBO.

viii. Focus on elongating your vowel sounds. This will also automatically slow down your rate of speech.

ix. Pronounce ending of each words. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English. Pay special attention to ‘S’ and ‘ED’ endings.

without much effortsDiverse demands for skillsLess time duration ( 180 mins / 60 students

= 3 mins each)Safety measuresWrong methods for solving problems

DO more than exist– liveDO more than touch – feelDO more than look – observe DO more than read – absorbDO more than hear – listen DO more than listen – understand They won because they refused to become
