Listening
Listen to the instructor and listen well. While you're listening, write down good notes and important details he/she says. Block distracting things from your mind. Listen to other people speaking the same language to improve your speaking and writing and pronunciation.
Speak in front of a class. Take a topic and explain it and be sure to talk loud and clear so people can interpret what you are saying. Discuss the topic of your speech with others as well. There will always be ways in which you can improve. Communicate with different people. Everyone has a different way of speaking and therefore talking with different people can not only help develop your language skills but your social skills as well.
Speaking
Select the details from the text read in Part 1 and have written down in Part 2.
Explain the details out loud. Make reference to the text to support your inferences, points of view and opinions.
Explore the language features and their effects. When speaking, use figurative language to clarify your points, for example, similes, personification, metaphor, etc. Use short sentences to make the points clearer and more pronounced to the audience/reader.
Identify and explain the author's purpose. Discuss this with others if possible. Analyze the author's range of vocabulary. How does the author convey messages, moods, attitudes and feelings?
Finish up by commenting on the overall impact of what you have read and written about. In other words, a conclusion, which finishes off your speech/writing.
