1. Study Online English Materials for ESL Students

“Self-studying” English seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? Isn’t language supposed to be used with others? Well… yes and no.

It’s best to work with other people when you practice English writing and speaking. Writing and speaking are known as “productive” skills because you are producing language. But the “receptive” English skills—listening and reading—can be self-studied easily and conveniently online.

Below is a list of some top websites and web services that allow you to learn English reading and listening on your own time, free of charge.

Websites for free English listening practice

Free websites for English listening practice usually fall under one of three categories:

  • Sites for conversational English listening. Elllo.org is a typical website for conversational English listening. The site contains conversations in every kind of English accent, including non-native accents.
  • Sites for practical “daily life” English listening. Randall’s ESL Cyber Listening Lab is a good example of the second type of English listening website. It’s full of listening exercises related to shopping, travel, school and other daily situations.
  • Sites where people can listen to academic/educational talks in English. TED Talks just might be the most famous source of English listening practice. It’s a collection of educational monologues (presentations with one speaker). TED is so popular among English learners that there’s a TED site just for ESL students: TEDxESL.

Websites for free English reading practice

Good things come in threes (or so I’ve heard). There are three major types of English reading websites, too:

  • Self-study courses. Some websites offer very organized courses in English reading that you can complete by yourself, free of charge. ReadTheory, which includes diagnostic tests, daily lessons and ways to track your learning progress, is a typical “guided English reading” web service.
  • Graded readings. Other sites offer “graded readings,” which are English articles that have been edited and simplified for English learners. English Online and Breaking News English are two good places to start looking for simpler texts like these.
  • English learner newspapers. These are sites with regular news reporting, but which are written with ESL students in mind. The Bangkok-based S Weekly (an abbreviation of “Student Weekly”) is a good example of this kind of newspaper.

2. Practice English Anytime with Mobile Apps

While we’re looking at self-study resources on the internet, let’s not forget “the internet of things.” What’s the internet of things? It’s the special parts of the web that you can access through your mobile devices—the apps that you can use on your phone and tablet.

The scene for free mobile apps that teach you English has absolutely exploded in the last ten years.

Some English lesson apps, such as Duolingo, are completely free. Duolingo offers well-organized self-study courses. The courses focus primarily on reading, writing and listening skills.

Plenty of other apps out there offer free English practice of one kind or another. Check your own phone’s app store and you should be able to find free English instruction that works for you.

FluentU has its very own app for learning English.

FluentU takes real-world videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

Unlike traditional language learning sites, FluentU uses a natural approach that helps you ease into the English language and culture over time. You’ll learn English as it’s spoken in real life.

FluentU has a variety of engaging content from popular talk shows, nature documentaries and funny commercials, as you can see here:

English Conversation

English Conversation

Everyone who wants to learn English wants to practice English conversation, and rightly so. Many students know the words they need for work and they can write an email without too much difficulty, but conversational English during a business dinner or on holiday is a problem. So how can you get better at conversational English?

Here are some solutions.

Practice regularly

Practice regularly

Practice is, of course, fundamental in learning how to converse in English but many courses don’t offer their students the opportunity to practice. In Wall Street English courses, students can take part in conversation lessons with a small group of people of the same level every week at any time or day that suits them. Wall Street English centers also have regular social activities in which students can practice further in a relaxed and fun context.
Start with what you know

Start with what you know

When you begin practicing conversational English you don’t need to make long, complicated sentences. Use the phrases you have learned and build on them over time. The Wall Street English method allows students to do exactly this because conversation lessons are carefully structured around the same language the student is learning in his/her level.
Listen to other people having typical daily conversations

Listen to other people having typical daily conversations

The best way to learn how to converse naturally is to copy others doing it. All our interactive lessons are based on everyday conversations and students learn basic conversation from the very first lessons.
Immerse yourself in English

Immerse yourself in English

Sometimes it’s difficult when you live in your home country to place yourself in an all English environment, where you can hear people speaking English all day in a natural and real way. At Wall Street English all our centers provide this. We have a total immersion atmosphere, there is no translation, everything is in English.
Learn real English

Learn real English

To be able to have conversations in real life, you need to study modern, practical English. Our lessons teach you the language used today in social situations and in business – the spoken English that opens doors to new opportunities.

So, are you ready to start having conversations in English?

How To Improve English Speaking Skills

Many students master the fine points of English grammar but find themselves at a loss when it comes to actually having a conversation with native speakers. In reality, the only way to develop fluency in speaking is by huge amounts of listening, and then practicing. The following are a few tips for improving English speaking skills. Don’t forget that listening is the foundation for speaking! When you also want to practice speaking, here are some suggestions for how to improve English speaking skills. 

Find An English-Speaking Conversation Partner

First of all, it’s important to find native speakers to practice with. Students who are living around many English speakers may be able to find informal opportunities to chat with neighbors and local business people. Joining a club or a volunteer organization can be a great way to get to know people informally. If that isn’t an option, consider hiring a private tutor. A lot of students find and meet with tutors online via tools like Skype or Google Hangouts.

Make Sure To Listen As Well As Speak

When practicing with a native speaker, try to balance your listening and speaking. It’s a good idea to prepare questions in advance so that the conversation will flow back and forth. If your conversation partner asks you a question and you answer at length, you can always turn the question back to your partner by asking, “What do  you think?” or “What about you?”

Record Your Conversation Practice

Recording is a great way to get the maximum benefit from a conversation with a native speaker. When you listen again, you can evaluate your own pronunciation and notice areas where you need to improve. You can also review the content of the conversation, take notes on new vocabulary or misunderstandings, and prepare questions for the next meeting.

Surround Yourself With The English Language

Another way to improve your English speaking skills is to immerse yourself in English as much as possible. Watch movies or TV in English, with subtitles if you need them, and watch the same programs over and over. Most people find that they understand more each time. Listening helps you become familiar with the rhythms and intonations of English. Once the sounds are familiar, try imitating them.

Practice With Music and Movies

Listen to music in English and sing along. Music is one of the best tools for learning intonation pronunciation. Listening to and singing songs might also help you remember vocabulary and phrases (if the song is easy to understand), and it will help you learn to pronounce English rhythm in a more natural way. By unconsciously imitating the singer, you’ll learn to pronounce phrases the way native speakers do. One good song for ESL or EFL students is “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega because it uses simple language to describe everyday scenes and actions.  Movies are a much better choice for learning English.  You’ll learn vocabulary, idioms, slang, pronunciation, and listening by watching movies.  Be sure to use my movie technique when you do this!

Read Aloud

Reading out loud is a great way to practice speaking when there are no conversation partners available. Reading aloud gives you a chance to focus on pronunciation and pacing without worrying about coming up with words. Make sure to practice with material that you can understand. Some students find videos online that have transcripts. Many TED talks, for example, include word-for word transcripts of the talk. By reading aloud from a transcript, you can check your pronunciation by listening to how the speaker says something.

Talk To Yourself

Saying your thoughts out loud or narrating your actions (“I am drinking coffee, and now I’m going to open my book”) can be a very effective way to practice spoken English. By talking to yourself, you can become more fluent in translating your thoughts into spoken words. Practicing alone is also a low-pressure way to practice, since no one will hear your mistakes.
