Nonnative language speakers occasionally avoid speaking in a foreign language. Compared with other skills (Writing, reading and listening), speaking is the least favourite of all for young learners. As English Teachers, we aim to encourage our students to speak in English, sing in English, even act in English via English language, literature, music and drama. Then, we said "why don't we make a speaking project?!" Here you go - our project is " Speak English like a Brit "! Our project was approved on 5th January, 2021.
