Hoàng Minh Huy TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Language is a tool for communication; we use it to share our ideas and learn about those of other people. Communication occurs anywhere speech is present. Without speaking, we are unable to communicate with one another. Therefore, speaking skills are crucial for language learners of any language. English skills include speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Although mastery of each communication skill is necessary to become a well-rounded communicator, speaking fluently has several important benefits. There are many advantages for the speaker when they can meaningfully combine words to convey their thoughts, attitudes, and feelings. Therefore, learning a second language, especially English is always, increasingly expanded, and...  [Read more]
