What is Spoken English?

Spoken English is the common English language spoken in countries where it is the first language.

So, it includes also slang words and regional dialects, depending on the city you take into account. Spoken English is English that is spoken by people, and used in conversations.

It will have lots of phrases and incomplete sentences which are ‘understood in context.’

It is a personal communication, intended for a few. Mostly questions, answers, and short sentences/phrases which express an idea. Unfortunately in India, the biggest use is to show off.

Probably as a hangover from colonial rule, English speaking carries tremendous sale value in this country, even if the spoken words don’t make much sense.

How Many Types of Spoken English are there in the English Language According to Usage?

There are multiple types of spoken English according to its usage. Those are as follows:-

1 . Professional Spoken English:-

This English is more widely used in daily conversation, where rules of grammar are more relaxed, and stress is more on just getting the message across. Sentences might be dropped halfway on realizing that the listener has gotten the message.

4 . Vulgar / Slang English:-

Every language comes with a set of words that have multiple meanings, and depending upon the situation in which you use them, multiple interpretations as well. These words are called slang and are native to a particular region.

167478837 223802739431091 2130414866463087872 n 2

Certain words might not be strictly off-limits in a society, but could be highly offensive to a particular community. These ethnic slangs and vulgar words find their way into the slang talk. Close friends use this mode for communication while having a friendly, informal conversation. In addition to this, the pronunciation of certain words changes with different regions which might cause confusion in speech.

  • Sweet as (An expression meaning no problem/alright)

5 . Singlish :-

English is one of four official languages in Singapore and is commonly used in local and international business in the country. What makes Singaporean English, also known as Singlish, different from other versions of English is that it’s been influenced by other languages in the country.

For outsiders, Singlish can be difficult to understand.

Many of the words and expressions used in Singlish actually come from other languages, like Mandarin Chinese, Malay and Tamil and for this reason, many English-speaking Singaporeans speak standard English and Singlish .

6 . British English :-

British English is the standard dialect of the English language  as spoken and written in the United Kingdom Variations exist in formal, written English in the United Kingdom.

For example, the adjective wee is almost exclusively used in parts of Scotland , North East , Ireland and occasionally Yorkshire whereas little is predominant elsewhere.

Nevertheless, there is a meaningful degree of uniformity in written English within the United Kingdom, and this could be described by the term British English.

The National Flag of England

The forms of Spoken English, however, vary considerably more than in most other areas of the world where English is spoken, so a uniform concept of British English is more difficult to apply to the spoken language. According to Tom McArthur in the Oxford Guide to World English, British English shares “all the ambiguities and tensions in the word ” British ” and as a result can be used and interpreted in two ways, more broadly or more narrowly, within a range of blurring and ambiguity”.

7 . American English :-

American English (AmEAEAmEngUSEngen-US),  sometimes called United States English or U.S. English,  is the set of  varieties of the English Language native to the United States. Currently, American English is the most influential form of English worldwide.

American national Flag

English is the most widely spoken language in the United States and is the de facto common language used by the federal and state governments, to the extent that all laws and compulsory education presume English as the primary language. English is explicitly given official status by 32 of the 50 state governments.

 While the local courts in some divisions of the United States  grant equivalent status to both English and another language—for example, English and Spanish in Puerto Rico —under federal law, English is still the official language for any matters being referred to the United States District Court  for the territory.

8 . Indian English :-

Indian English (originated from and therefore related to British English) is a class of varieties of the English language spoken in the Republic of India , and among the Indian diaspora elsewhere in the world.

In his book The English Language (1990) David Crystal observed, “British English is now, numerically speaking, a minority dialect, compared with American, or even Indian, English.”

The Constitution of India has mandated Hindi in the Devanagari script to be an official language of the Indian union; English is an additional official language for government work along with Hindi.

 English is an official language of 7 states and 5 Union Territories and also the additional official language of 7 states and 1 Union Territory. English is also the sole official language of the Judiciary of India unless a state Governor or legislature mandates the use of regional language, or the President has given approval for the use of regional languages in courts.

How Many Types of Spoken English are there in the English Language According to Spelling and Pronunciation?

Despite the various English dialects spoken from country to country and within different regions of the same country, there are only slight regional variations in English orthography, the two most recognized variations being British and American spelling.

Many of the differences between American and British English date back to a time when spelling standards had not yet developed. For instance, some spellings seen as “American” today were once commonly used in Britain and some spellings seen as “British” were once commonly used in the United States.

What should you do to Boost Up Your Spoken English Skill ?

So, here are some study tips for boosting your performance:

target
  1. Make a target:  There should be a target to achieve. Directionless studying will not at all yield any outcome. For e.g. target might be boarded, for some, it would be competitive, etc.
  2. Study environment: The study environment should have minimum distractions. It should have a good space and should possess all the essentials.
  3. Need a Competent Personal Global Trainer: You just need a trainer. It is preferable not to study among hundred students. Online personal global trainer is needed for you.
  4. Process: The main focus should be on understanding facts and figures rather than mugging up. There is some stuff that requires mugging, but primarily understanding and analyzing components should dominate simply memorizing.
  5. Succinct notes: Making notes on a topic would increase the scope of clearance and fantasy of the topic. Even if some people have the inertia not to make notes, can prefer to write shortly just beside the topic.
  6. Feynman method: Every topic has a reason behind it. So, understanding the topic with the reason will create better possibilities for exploration. Writing ‘when’, ‘how’, and ‘why’ in every chapter and subchapter will at least provide a base of the particular chapter which work wonders while revising.
  7. Revision methods: The revision should be done under the technique of “I111″ which means the first revision should be done immediately after the completion of the task. The second revision should be done after a day. The third revision should be done after a week and fourth revision should be done after a month. This will emphasize the permanency of the specific topic.
  8. Timetable: Everyone should have time table according to their needs. A morning hen or a night owl has different concentration spans. So timetable must not be universal. It should be prepared according to the needs of a person. Breaks: Breaks should be strictly taken. For people having heavy distractions should follow the Pomodoro technique i.e. 50-10 rule and people having great attention span should take regular breaks according to their needs. But anyone of the two should take breaks and rejuvenate themselves. If breaks are not taken properly along with hydration may lead to severe burn-out.
  9. Sleep: This is has a vital role to play in the process of studying on regular basis. Minimum sleeping hours roll from 7hrs-9 hrs according to self needs.
  10. Hobbies: Any activity such as singing, dancing, physical fitness-related activities, philately, cardiac sports, etc. should be taken care of during the rest of the time. if you can not find the information for an answer
  11. If you need more than ONE MINUTE to find an answer. Save time – and you need every second you can get
  12. Avoid a question that makes you crazy which will increase your stress levels and make you perform badly in the rest of the test
  13. Do questions that you find easier
  14. Do questions that get you points that contribute to a better Band Score
  15. Do questions that you like and quickly know the answers to
  16. Be able to go back at the end of the exam and look at this difficult question again (maybe) .

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has exerted an influence in every dimension of our lives, from the way we wash our hands to the language we speak.

The Latin word ‘corona’ means ‘crown’ and that the virus is called ‘corona’ because of its crown-like shape and spikes .

lockdown

In a similar way , several new words and phrases like fomite transmission , social distancing, quarantine, covidiot (someone ignoring public health advice), covidient (people who strictly follow public health guidelines) etc. have been coined and are being widely used by people today in order to define the new pandemic situations .

All this has led to the creation of a whole new vocabulary and you will be surprised to know that approximately thousands of words are added to the English language each and every year.

This has led to an explosion of new words and phrases that have suddenly become a part of our daily routine .

It then makes sense for us to also keep up with the speedy changing language and do something productive while we are confined to our homes.

9 . Listen Intently Podcast or Any Audio Book :-

Active and observant listening also helps in building a strong vocabulary as listening is a skill which requires attention and picking out new words, noting them down and unfolding their meaning gives a great exhibition .

10 . Reading Books with Rapt Attention :-

Reading books or novels is one of the best ways to improve your vocabulary. While reading, you come across new words and gain the curiosity to find its correct meaning which expands and improves your knowledge.

It is recommended to keep a dictionary with you while reading so that as and when you read and come across new words, it becomes easier to refer to the dictionary, find its correct meaning and enunciation .

11 . Utilize the Robust Digital Arena :-

At present, there are several digital and interactive platforms that can help students & learners of all age groups to build their language skills at home.

A few such examples are the My Grammar Lab , Pearson MyPedia which offer a collection of involving stories, fun facts, trivia and quizzes that help improve English vocabulary, listening, speaking and comprehension .

12 . Start Reading English News Paper :-

This is a good habit . Try to grow this habit in you . This will invariably help you a lot to boost up your vocabulary .

13 . Play Multiple Funny Games with English Instructions :-

As you are spending so much time at home with your family during the Covid-19 lockdown, you can pick up your old board games with English instructions and play them with your family to improve your English spoken skills.

You can also go for computer games or mobile games that you play alone which are text-based.

You can read out the stories written in English as the game progresses, but this is sure to be more fun if you are playing something in a group.

14 . Watch American / British / Australian Classic Movies / Dramas / Television Serials Vigorously :-

This is the time when most people are watching a lot of television serials and movies at home due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

At a time when online streaming platforms have become the new dimension for people to spend their time at home, one can opt to watch classic English movies, serials , web series , dramas or shows which will lead you to encounter new words and look for their meanings.

15 . Start to Listen and Sing English Songs :-

Music is a Universal language .

During lockdown , start listening English songs . Start singing and humming within you .

Spoken English without a trainer is just like a fish without water or a living being without oxygen .

What are the Baneful Sources of Spoken English Learning ?

1 . Multiple YouTubers on Spoken English :-

There are some people often suggest that ‘ You Tube ‘ is a good platform to learn spoken English, online . Thus the young learners get trapped with some YouTubers and ultimately ruin both ‘ Time ‘ as well as their ‘ Existing Potentiality ‘ .

Youtube

YouTube is basically a platform of acquaintance but not at all a platform of learning .

There are several YouTubers who open their channels to show their expertise , teach a few vocabulary or some synonyms and antonyms within 6 minutes with some gorgeous background music and get thousands of likes , subscriptions and views . Their channels gets monetized consequentially .

Do you think that you have learnt spoken English from those videos ?? ” The simplest answer is ‘ NO ‘ .

2 . Multiple Android Apps on Spoken English :-

People also suggest these options off and on without understanding the deadly significance of these sort of ‘ Android Apps ‘ on spoken English learning .

Android

But it is too late for them to comprehend their status . Nothing to do then on that particular moment , because , the patient had already died before the real doctor came .

This is another detrimental source of Spoken English learning . Plenty of video courses are sold there . People visit there and buy those courses and ultimately can’t be able to learn Spoken English skill. It provides some of the best online Spoken English Teachers.

What are the Healthy Habits to Learn Spoken English ?

1 . Consultation with Dictionary :-

Dictionary should be your constant companion . It must be your best friend .

Dictionary is a systematic presentation of words with their meanings .

This doesn’t mean that you can invariably get in -depth domination over the spoken English expertise .

Only knowing words can’t render you a benefit .

You have many flowers but all those will be futile if you don’t know the skill of making a garland out of it .

4 . Watching English News Channel On Television :-

Some interested learners also get a suggestion to watch English News Channel to improve their skills in English .

I do agree with them and see eye to eye with their suggestion , but with a slight disagreement again .

News channel

Watching ” English News Channel ” boosts up your “ Listening Skill in English ” , but not your “ Spoken Skill in English ” .

So , only watching English News channels will never give you an extra mileage in spoken English .

You need something more……

5 . Watching English Movie in Theater :-

This is also an item included in the long list of suggestion to learn spoken English .

Watching an English movie in an air conditioned theater really gives you comfort and entertainment , but , that also fails to serve your actual purpose of learning spoken English .

watching movie 1
Entertainment along with Learning

Watching an English movie improves your ‘ Visual efficiency ‘ and ‘ Listening Efficiency ‘ , but , in no way it escalates your ‘ Spoken English Efficiency ‘ .

3 . Reading Newspapers Effect on Spoken English :-

Many people sometimes suggest to read the popular English dailies like ” The Telegraph ” , “ The Times of India ” , “ The Hindu ” etc . . Their suggestions are not at all bad to learn English .

But I personally think that regular habituation of reading English Newspaper can assist you to learn English to a slight extent .

This habituation can grow your ‘ Reading Efficiency in English ‘ but not your ‘ Spoken Efficiency in English ‘ . ‘ Newspaper reading ‘ performs its role as a supplementary to ‘ Spoken English Learning ‘ .

6 . Communicate with your Friends :-

Some wise people also suggest that spoken English can also be improved through communication among friends .

What does a Trainer do to Augment Your Spoken English Capability ??

Or

How does a Competent Trainer help you to improve your Spoken English Skill :-

A trainer facilitates the task of learning spoken English easier and smoother . S/he can diagnose the follies in a students easily and corrects those as soon as possible .

S/he proves herself or himself as a mentor as well as a proficient guide to the learners in their learning path .

The role of the trainer undergoes fundamental changes with the delivery of a multidimensional second-language program.

173135949 230240602120638 1011468041368102597 n 2

As the Core English classroom moves from teacher-centered to student-centered and from a language-based to a needs-based approach, the trainer’s responsibilities also change.

The primary role of the trainer in a multidimensional language class is to establish conditions and develop activities so that students are able to practise the language in a meaningful context.

It is one of the trainer’s greatest responsibilities to develop in the students a positive attitude in learning English as a second language.

176322515 235460958265269 5787747938507756514 n 2

It is the trainer who acts as facilitator, resource person and language model for the second- language classroom. If developing units, the trainer needs to predict the possible needs of the students and have communicative language activities readily available to meet these needs.

The activities should be designed so that the students experience a high degree of success. Trainers will also experience greater success when activities are planned around the students’ interests and take into account subjects that they have some knowledge about.

The trainer is also instrumental in creating a positive and supportive learning environment within the class. Students who feel safe and secure are much more willing to practise a second language.

A healthy classroom climate promotes risk-taking and allows the students to experiment. Positive experiences in the classroom lead to an excellent attitude toward language and culture.

The constant re-entry and review of linguistic content throughout the different units enable the students to practise and internalize the language. Although this spiral approach is ideal in language learning, the teacher must be aware of the program objectives and ensure that the objectives are being met. Instruction and evaluation must reflect these objectives.

The trainer will continue to serve as a language model for the students. While remaining the person with whom the students will communicate most often, one of the main functions of the trainer will now be to discover or invent ways to encourage students to communicate meaningfully with each other.

178709224 238410047970360 4190936233011923040 n 1

Instead of actively directing and controlling all activities the trainer will aim to set up conditions for meaningful practice and then take on the role of a resource person.

The classroom becomes student-centred rather than trainer -centred; the students do most of the talking and the role of the teacher is to facilitate, advise, assist and offer direction.

As the students most often work in small groups the trainer will observe the activities, noting problem areas for future work. During these activities, the teacher will interrupt to correct students only if the errors are so serious as to block communication. 

The role of the Core English trainer in the classroom has traditionally been to convey knowledge. As the trainer moves toward being a facilitator of language learning, the students acquire skills that will enable them to be independent language learners.

Trainers are encouraged to become more knowledgeable about theories and methods of second language instruction. This can be done through reading and attending workshops, professional development days and conferences whenever the opportunity lends itself. Mini-immersion or immersion courses are instrumental in providing the opportunity for improvement/maintenance of communicative competence.

1 . A Sheet Anchor to the Derailed and Puzzled spoken English Learner :-

A proficient trainer of spoken English performs its role as a sheet anchor . s/he always cares and protects his /her students or learners round the clock .

This is a genuine part of a trainer’s responsibility and s/he is committed to do that .

182564574 244200210724677 7554917568584948585 n

2 . A Ray of Hope :-

An eligible trainer plays a vital role to learn spoken English . S/he is the ray of hope to the learners .

A trainer also rises a ray of hope inside the soul of a greenhorn learner .

3 . Instills the Fillip to learn spoken English :-

It is the trainer who can install the high level of genuine confidence into the core of the soul of the students .

The students can understand and feel that from within . This magical touch can act as a efficacious ‘ Mantra ‘ .

4 . Immense Opportunity for Direct Interaction :-

186264966 248453766965988 3867864375308821831 n 1

Spoken English learning or any verbal skill learning is primarily a two – way traffic.

During learning spoken English , a student needs a space for an interaction with his / her trainer or expert . This is the biggest benefit for a learner to learn spoken English and gradually the novice learner starts gaining authority over the spoken language . It is infeasible otherwise. Online spoken English classes can help you in this part.

Who can Learn Spoken English ?

Anybody of any age of any discipline can learn spoken English . There is no such limitation . Better late than never .

Spoken English
Spoken English is not Age-restricted

Spoken English is age – free , discipline – free and nepotism – free . It is for all and open to all .

Age should not inhibit you. Ideally, speaking is the best way to grasp a language. However, to speak one assumes you have a fair idea of the grammar and vocabulary of the language. Reading will help you gain a better understanding of any language.

In fact, people over 50 years old have many advantages that help them to learn English faster, to speak English fluently.

One huge advantage is attention span, the ability to concentrate.

Let’s be honest, most young people just don’t have the same level of concentration. They get bored more easily. They get distracted more quickly. Older people, especially people over 50 years of age often, usually, have better concentration. They’re more mature and they just have the ability to focus and concentrate for a longer time. This is a huge advantage when learning to speak English fluently.

181060173 242441440900554 415359896230142664 n 3

Another big advantage for people over 50, life experience.

Life experience helps you to learn a language. See, because you have more experience, you have more images in your mind, you have more events in your mind, in your memory it’s easier for you to connect those to English, so when you’re learning English phrases, when you’re learning English idioms, vocabulary, etc. you can connect those to actual memories and experiences from your own life, that actually helps you to learn faster than someone who’s younger.

Another huge advantage for older learners is independence.

183728279 246604130484285 5400417339636325022 n

Younger learners are often prisoners of the school systems, of universities or high schools or other schools. They’re forced to use methods that don’t work, because they’re stuck in the school system. They’re forced to study things that will not actually help them speak English fluently, because they’re stuck in the school system. But you, as an older person, especially people over 50 are much more independent. You know what you want. You know why you want to learn English, so you can create an independent learning plan that fits your needs, what you want and that is much more effective.

Which English Channel is Better between BBC and CNN for Spoken English learning Supplementary?

Every news channel has an underlying agenda. I watch any channel that is on and try to avoid the news if possible. But if you must choose between BBC and CNN, remember that Denzel Washington once said in an interview: If you watch the news you are misinformed. If you don’t watch the news, you are uninformed.”

The truth is that these two channels cater to the same audience but in different countries. Let’s provide some background information.

  1. BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) – this network is a public-owned news channel with its headquarters located in London, United Kingdom. Despite being a public-owned company, the overarching ideology leans towards the progressive side of issues. Moreover, the company focuses primarily on news stories happening in the UK and other events that demand worldwide attention.
  2. CNN (Cable News Network) – this network is the primary source of news for most Americans, and by extension, the entire world. When you go to the gym, CNN is on. When you are at the airport, CNN is on display. Also, the overwhelming majority of their hosts and anchors are progressives.

So, both networks are similar in ideology. While CNN caters first to Americans, BBC covers news in and around the United Kingdom.

 However, both channels are famous all over the world for their extensive coverage of world events.

To sum up, I don’t have a preferred news channel. I just turn on the BBC to see what’s going on in the UK, and CNN to find out the latest news in America.

As a Trainer, I’d have to go with the BBC on this. I feel they are more professional. Let me explain.The BBC has standards.

When a story breaks, the BBC will often wait to confirm that the event actually happened from a number of sources before they use the story.

However, CNN will break the story and may later even find out that the story is untrue. While speed is important in training, accuracy gives a news outfit lasting credibility and goodwill. The latter is priceless.

I don’t entirely blame CNN for its mercantile manner of operations. I put it down to the fact that CNN has a board and shareholders to whom it must be accountable. CNN must turn a profit. The numbers are more important than an inconvenient fact of credibility.

CNN is often needlessly sensational and will prioritize stories with gory images and alarming headlines over stories that really matter to REAL people. To put it mildly, CNN is steeped in crisis and disaster reporting. The BBC on the other hand is guided by fairness, objectivity, and balance. CNN couldn’t be bothered.

I prefer the BBC for overall coverage of the US and World news. CNN will give me breaking news, but it will do so with too much emotion and repetition.

  13. To read English successfully, children must learn to turn the words they see in a text into sounds, and make sense of these sounds. It is important for children to learn letter-sound relationships because English uses letters in the alphabet to represent sounds.

  14. First of all let me thank you once you got some information and knowledge from our beautiful article again.The reason why spoken English is so important is that you can adapt to the English language anywhere you go and there will be no problem.First of all, if you want to study and work abroad, you must be fluent in English. Speking English is a very important thing to know. It is very important to speak English because you be able to talk to any people in abroad.

  15. Out of nearly 6500 spoken languages in a small village like today’s world, English is the third most widely spoken and taught language in over 118 countries. English is commonly used around the world as a language of trade, tourism, science, aviation, computers, media and the international communication.
    Though English is often known as the most complicated language, every year the number of English language speaker increases manifold as compared to other languages in the world. Unless you are proficient enough in English, you are no longer able to explore and unlock exciting new doors of opportunities in life. A pearl is worthless as long as it’s still in its shell. Bring the pearl out and keep yourself away from being looked down upon.
    The innumerable advantages and great reasons to learn English especially in 2021 may range from getting a good job to being more confidence and smarter in expressing oneself. Basically it assists one to stay in touch with different issues and trends in global trade, culture and society. If you have English at your disposal, you have the word in your pocket. It’s like an Irish proverb: Marry the mountain girl and you marry the whole mountain.
    Me like there are numbers of MBAs who are barely able to write English what to speak of they being good at spoken one. How on earth can they afford to sell their valueless degrees in such a cut-throat competitive job market! It’s like carrying an umbrella when shoes are leaking.
    Thus, to become the cynosure of all eyes and rule over the world today, it’s a must for us to carry English Head, Hand and Tongue.

    English is the storehouse of scientific knowledge.
    Hence, it’s study is of great importance for a developing country like India.
    I think that speaking English always allows you to actually broaden your world,from job opportunities to the ability to relate to people from every country
    Education is very important to improve yourself but learning English also improves the quality of life.
    I agree with you that we can’t learn any more from you tube channels because I know that many you tubers are fake …they are making their channels just for their incomes( like views,subscribers etc). But ultimately we can’t learn from you tube. It’s just a vogus channel.
    I think that every student needs a an one autodidact person for any subject and for better guidance as well as understanding.
    Really we appreciate you.
    I am glad to read your wonderful article.

  20. In 21 century spoken English is very important because:
    Due to the mobilaziation of Education any body can learn&teach any one out side India. Since English is international language so you have good command over English.
    I think if you are not fluent in English then it might be difficult to you to serve cross border Education program.

  21. This is the most appropriate topic that I read to continue someday. After reading this topic, I know a lot of things about English. English is the most important language in our life. Learning English will open opportunities in our future life. Spoken English is the ideal communication language throughout the world. In India, Indian English originates from British English. Nowadays, we are all shifting towards American English. In the current posture, we are all trying to boost our immunity with multi-vitamin. In social media, I hear the different pronunciations of vitamin words. Then I type it in Google and find that this an American pronunciation. There is a various type of pronunciation of different words in this materialistic world . Having a good command of English helps us to have more opportunities in life, finally, our career.
