How to Improve English Speaking Skills from Watching Movies

Let's take a trip down memory lane to our early years and reflect on our time in primary school, a pivotal period in our lives. Specifically, let's delve into the period when we were around six or seven years old, a time filled with innocence and curiosity.

Have you ever pondered upon the initial lessons imparted to us during this time?

It's often the case that the first skills we were taught revolved around writing and reading, rather than focusing on listening and speaking, even though the latter are fundamental abilities that we naturally possess upon entering primary school.

It's intriguing to consider how, as young children, we effortlessly acquired the art of speaking and comprehending spoken language without the structured lessons typically provided in a language learning environment. One plausible explanation is that we were exposed to spoken words repeatedly, whether it was through conversations with our parents, siblings, or friends, or through the various audiovisual materials we encountered. Through this repetitive exposure, our memory stores sufficient sound information, enabling our brain to effectively instruct our speech organs on producing those sounds.

Have you ever noticed that there are times when we mispronounce a word, only to be corrected by someone else?

Initially, we may struggle to pronounce the word correctly after hearing it once, but with continued exposure (typically around 3-5 times), we can often grasp the correct pronunciation through sheer auditory repetition. This process of auditory learning is fascinating, as it highlights the power of our brain's ability to adapt and refine our language skills based on the sounds we hear.

At times, we may find ourselves needing a moment to fully grasp the pronunciation of a word, especially after it has been pronounced in its entirety. This delay occurs as our brain endeavors to match the sound we heard with the sound information stored in our memory. Interestingly, this sound information is often expected to align with the visual representation of the word as seen on paper. It's as if our brain is constantly cross-referencing the auditory and visual aspects of language to ensure accurate comprehension and production.

In this course, we will leverage digital tools to enhance our listening skills, ultimately leading to an improvement in our speaking abilities. These tools will provide us with opportunities to engage in various listening exercises, such as listening to audio recordings, podcasts, and even participating in interactive online conversations. By actively engaging with these resources, we will be able to fine-tune our ability to understand spoken language, pick up on nuances, and improve our pronunciation.

As we embark on this journey to enhance our listening skills, let us not forget the importance of speaking. While listening is the foundation upon which effective communication is built, speaking allows us to express our thoughts, ideas, and emotions. By honing our listening skills, we are also indirectly sharpening our speaking abilities, as the two are interconnected. So, let's embrace this opportunity to expand our linguistic horizons and become more confident and articulate communicators.

In conclusion, our early years in primary school were filled with valuable lessons, particularly in the realms of writing and reading. However, it's important to recognize the innate abilities we possessed in listening and speaking, which played a crucial role in our language development. Through repetitive exposure to spoken language, our brains effortlessly absorbed sound information, enabling us to speak with fluency and comprehend spoken words. As we continue our educational journey, let us leverage digital tools to enhance our listening skills, ultimately leading to an improvement in our speaking abilities.
