One of the keys to getting help to improve your iBT speaking performance is learning how to help yourself! Practicing your speaking and then listening to your own production very carefully can be extremely enlightening and beneficial.
To help get you started on the path to self development, OnlinEnglish.Net has produced some step-by-step guidelines and a basic speaking recorder applet online for you to use for your own personal practice. The approach takes you through a kind of draft process, encouraging you to review and adapt your production based on a variety of considerations, including:
- Fluency and getting used to the time limits
- Preparing and organizing answers
- Pacing and presenting an answer effectively
- Using good spoken expression
- Paying attention to grammatical accuracy and appropriate usage
- Exhibiting good enunciation (pronunciation, intonation, stress, rhythm and emphasis)
- Reviewing your answers and uniting all the different considerations into one response
- Learning how to assess your own performance
To get started, choose a task from the menu to the left of screen.
Start speaking, and good luck!!!
