Speaking Strategies
Speaking strategies are actions you can take while producing language that can improve how well you are understood and how clearly you can share ideas. Strategies begin as intentional decisions on how you will listen. This often starts off as a challenging task. However, with consistent practice of these strategies in different contexts, they can become natural and automatic. When a strategy becomes an instinct, we refer to that as a skill.
In this section, you will practice the following strategies:
- Organizing ideas
- Supporting opinions
- Circumlocution
- Sentence variety
- Adapting to audiences
- Unexpected complications
As you apply these strategies, you will notice improvement in your clarity and an increase in your confidence when responding to others. Your communication will feel more comfortable, and you will feel more successful using English in more situations and to discuss more topics.
