An extensive study is made while giving a shape to our module. We deeply studied the key ingredients of fluency. There are many revelations.
Every day I come across good number of professionals, who are very charming, enterprising and highly successful in their respective careers, yet they hesitate to speak English fluently. They even feel that, had they been good at English, they would have reached even new heights in their career.
When it comes to acquiring fluency in English, there are many flaws in our learning style. The schools and our education system has set wrong standards, when it comes to teaching English.
Finally the end result is pathetic. Even the well-educated cannot speak English fluently. They cannot articulate their ideas in a flow. The well-educated and qualified have got great amount of jargon in their repository.
At the drop of a hat they utter out the jargon parts of speech, noun, pronoun, verb, conjunction, tenses etc. they are good at grammar. They may easily understand English speeches, English books and they may put their ideas on paper.
However when it comes to speaking, they feel as though their tongue is tied up. They just cannot speak fluently.
It means what. We have been following wrong methods to learn Spoken English. Dont worry here is a method that solves all your problems. Just follow the practical tips that we give in this series on a regular basis.

In the similar way, all the students who join any spoken English institute want to speak English fluently. They want to make conversations effectively; they want to impress the people effortlessly. Every one of them joins a spoken English institute starry eyed, they join with great optimism. They join with great hopes and great enthusiasm.
Here is a bitter truth.
And yet, the fact is that majority of the students who join a Spoken English Institute may not get their dreams realized. Yes its truth.
We made a detailed study in this regard. We interviewed thousands of students. We got dismayed at the result of the survey.
This initial enthusiasm fades away slowly because of various reasons. The prime reason could be lack of motivation and direction. You may forget your goal in life, you may not get the proper guidance from the trainers, you may not be aware how to get charged, you may be unaware how to improve your skills etc.
One needs constant motivation and perpetual guidance, and the institute should set the pace for a healthy learning. The trainer should give 100% professional guidance, which is in tune with value based education system. The institute should inculcate values, ethics, morals, discipline and more importantly a sense of accomplishment on a day to day basis.
However to continue this enthusiasm you constantly need motivation. You need few yardsticks to keep you in the right direction. I love English, Do you? is one of such tools, which keeps the pot boiling. Test yourself on a regular basis by making use of this diagnostic tool. Be open and honest while putting the scores. It lets you know, whether your efforts are in the right direction or not. It gives a wakeup call, what methods you should be adapting to keep your learning meaningful.
We have shortlisted few practical steps to be followed on a day to day basis, to keep you alert and active. It serves the purpose of a self-assessment or test for you.
