And what advice can we leave in their lesson notes if their English already seems perfect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five strategies you can recommend that\u2019ll help these ambitious students take their speaking to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Identify_Role_Models\"><\/span>1.

An easy way to do this is to pick some role models. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If they want to sound more persuasive, they can watch TED talks and find some speakers they like.<\/li><li>If they want to be more humorous in English, they can regularly follow a stand-up comedian.<\/li><li>If they want to sound more academic, they can listen to online university lectures and find a professor who speaks English the way they want to.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Advise them to observe the vocabulary, expressions, and sentence patterns their role models use. Then encourage them to practice using these next time they book a lesson with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Expand_Their_Range\"><\/span>2. Expand Their Range<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced learners should be capable of talking about a wide range of topics. However, their fluency will still drop when they talk about stuff they\u2019re not that familiar with. If you notice this happening with a student, encourage them to work on expanding their conversational range even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can do this through <a href=\"http:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\"><em>Daily News<\/em><\/a>. For example, if tech is not something they don\u2019t talk about often, they can read news articles in our <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/category\/Science%20%26%20Technology\">\u201cScience &amp; Technology\u201d category<\/a> and discuss them with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advise them to do this for a week (or until they feel comfortable discussing this topic), and then encourage them to repeat this process for all other categories they don\u2019t feel comfortable talking about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they\u2019ve done this, they\u2019ll be familiar with a lot more vocabulary needed to talk about any topic that comes their way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Think_More_Deeply\"><\/span>3. Think More Deeply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes higher-level students want to know if there\u2019s some way they can learn how to speak for longer durations. The key to this is realizing that speaking at great length doesn\u2019t mean blabbering on and on. It requires having more complex thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/03\/30050520\/Five-Strategies-to-Help-Advanced-Students-Perfect-Their-Speaking-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/03\/30050520\/Five-Strategies-to-Help-Advanced-Students-Perfect-Their-Speaking-1.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/03\/30050520\/Five-Strategies-to-Help-Advanced-Students-Perfect-Their-Speaking-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/03\/30050520\/Five-Strategies-to-Help-Advanced-Students-Perfect-Their-Speaking-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearsonelt.com\/about\/gse.html\">Global Scale of English (GSE) <\/a>recommends advanced students develop the ability to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cSpeculate about the causes of an issue or problem\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cPrecisely express the potential consequences of actions or events\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cEvaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various options\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, advanced students need to \u201cgo deeper.\u201d&nbsp; They can\u2019t just say that something happened. They should also try to explain why it happened, what results could come of it, and what can be done about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say a student is talking about a lack of sleep. Encourage them to follow Pearson\u2019s advice and try to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Guess what might be the reasons for their lack of sleep.<\/li><li>Talk about the results of their lack of sleep.<\/li><li>Suggest ways this can be solved, while thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, they shouldn\u2019t just stop at how much sleep they get every day. If they need help thinking more deeply about certain topics, they can <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/daily-news\/search?query=sleep\">search <em>Daily News<\/em> for related articles<\/a> and see what they discuss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also suggest they learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/05\/academic-words\/\">academic vocabulary<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/2019\/08\/22\/smart-expressions-reasons-predictions-and-recommendations\/\">relevant expressions<\/a> that\u2019ll help them structure these deeper thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ask_Questions\"><\/span>4. Ask Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced English conversation isn\u2019t just about being able to <em>have<\/em> a conversation. It\u2019s also about being able to <em>lead<\/em> a conversation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a fellow tutor shared, \u201cMy advanced students rarely ask questions. They rely on me to come up with all the questions. At lower levels, this is okay, but advanced students should understand that conversations are a two-way street.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This view is supported by various teaching frameworks. For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pearson\u2019s Global Scale of English lists \u201cCan ask detailed questions in discussions\u201d as an advanced skill.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actfl.org\/sites\/default\/files\/guidelines\/ACTFLProficiencyGuidelines2012.pdf#page=5\">American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)<\/a> agrees, saying \u201cSpeakers at the Advanced level engage in conversation in a clearly participatory manner.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, advanced learners shouldn\u2019t only be following the other person\u2019s lead by answering their questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So encourage them to ask their own questions next time they book a lesson. At the very least, they should know these<a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/28\/turn-your-students-into-conversationalists-with-these-simple-questions\/\"> basic questions<\/a> like the back of their hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Write_More\"><\/span>5. Write More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the ACTFL, highly advanced students should be able to \u201cspeak succinctly. At this level, oral discourse typically resembles written discourse.\u201d In other words, your advanced learners should aim for their spoken English to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be short and to the point.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Sound more like written English.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How does writing help with speaking? Well, writing gives learners more time to think about how they want to say something. They\u2019ll spend more time carefully choosing the right words and even changing their wording.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process allows them to reach greater clarity than they would if they were speaking. And the more they write, the more practice they\u2019ll get expressing themselves clearly, which in turn helps them speak more succinctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an additional benefit of writing, you can also point out that seeing something in writing makes it easier for us as tutors to give detailed feedback. After all, it\u2019s a lot easier to miss things when we\u2019re listening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when a piece of writing is put before us, we can swiftly identify unnecessary words, suggest clearer phrasing and smoother transitions, and pick up on other things that would be difficult to notice in speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s advise our advanced students to write more to speak better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Takeaways\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, here\u2019s some advice to help your advanced students take their English to greater heights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Identify role models<\/li><li>Expand conversational range<\/li><li>Think more deeply<\/li><li>Ask more questions<\/li><li>Write more<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy tutoring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teaching students who are already advanced but want to improve their speaking (even more!) is not easy.&nbsp; What can we do besides correcting their mistakes?
