"Today several adjectival phrases have been used to describe English like ‘International Language’, ‘Lingua-Franca’, ‘Language for Globally Connecting’, ‘Library Language’, ‘Official Language’, ‘Administrative Language’, ‘Queen of Languages’, ‘Employment Passport’ and ‘the most Preferred Language’ etc." (Jabir, M. 2019)

Teaching speaking skills creatively:
Paying attention to the sounds and rhythm of the English language can help you improve your pronunciation and make your speech clearer and more understandable to others.
Speaking a foreign language is a skill and not a state of mind. One of the best ways to improve your speaking skills is to practice speaking as much as possible.
Nonverbal communication can reinforce your message and make you a more confident and effective speaker. Use appropriate gestures and facial expressions to help convey your meaning.
Practice speaking at a slower pace, and focus on enunciating each word clearly before adding pace to your speech.

English: tool of international communication.

Great input from Bulcsu Szekely Wishing you success Mohd Jabir !
Dear Mr. Jabir!
Mr. Ternyik hit the essence of learning a new language. I did not even realize these dimensions to be honest. One of the key tools I employed to learn English was that I listen to Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, and Led Zeppelin. Love them all. In addition, I watched many English (USA) movies with subtitles in Finnish and English.
Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
Language teachers can promote speaking skills through various engaging activities. Role-playing allows students to act out real-life scenarios, such as ordering food or asking for directions, which helps them practice conversational language. Group discussions and debates encourage students to articulate their thoughts and opinions clearly. Presentations on different topics can boost students' confidence in speaking publicly. Language games like "20 Questions" or "Taboo" make speaking practice fun and interactive. Pairing students as conversation partners provides regular speaking practice. Storytelling exercises, where students share personal experiences or creative tales, enhance fluency and coherence. Pronunciation drills help students master the sounds of the language. Interactive activities, such as interviews, surveys, and opinion polls, stimulate spontaneous speech. Feedback sessions offer constructive insights into students' speaking performance, aiding improvement. Additionally, language learning apps and software provide technology-based speaking practice and feedback, making learning more accessible and personalized.
