My students can't speak English
0 Hi, guys! 02 br

00 The point is I'm currently working as an English teacher. I'm teaching English as a second language. I've got a slew of problems with my students, because they can write, read, however, they can't speak coherently. Indeed, they can't speak at all. I've been working at this school for five months already. Though, I don't see any results at the moment. 02 br

00 The curriculum and the books, we are using, are very boring. However, we should strictly stick to the curriculum. You know, it is extremely difficult to work with such a curriculum and with students, who don't know the basics. 02 br
02 br
00 And I've got no ideas how to find the way out of this troublesome situation. Can anybody give me any advice? 0-

0 In my opinion, it is imperative that you stray from the curriculum as it is set down. Otherwise you'll never accomplish your goal. You may have to do this by introducing your own very short lessons at first.

- With the level of student you seem to be describing I believe you will have to start with very basic repetition drills.

Hey, bub! I think I know what you mean. I was teaching at a school and facing this same problem. The classtime does not allow you to do any extras, so you got save it for the curriculum. One thing that helped me was that I killed some steps of the book for some livelier extras, speaking extras. In the beginning I made them really easy activities for I wanted my students to feel a little more secu

Hi,
I have been teaching English to adults in Asian countries and I understand your problem. The best advice that I can give is the same that was given to me and which words well.

I am shocked at the poor English used by several of the 'so-called' English tutors on this site!
For students to learn good English, surely they need a good model to follow?
The main obstacle to learning to speak and write English would appear to be that too many English tutors cannot actually speak or write English correctly themselves.

You should follow the curriculum. Beside that, you can do various things to inspire your student
to speak English. Actually if we don't try to speak English, we will never learn to speak English.
Motivate your students.

I think those books are not exactly what you're looking for. They are more about teaching vocabulary than teaching what to say in the most common situations....
