In all of my years teaching in China, the most often asked question from students is, "How can I improve my spoken (oral) English?" The simple reply is "practice." But of course there are techniques and methods that work better than others. This book answers the question. This is not a classroom textbook, but rather a practical "how-to" guide to successful English speaking.
            This book is published by China Machine Press (中国机械工业出版社). The Chinese title is 美国老师教你说出好英文. If you are worried about understanding the book, don't worry (放心), the book is bilingual (双语).

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR IMPROVING ORAL ENGLISH

1. Look for opportunities to speak, even if it means just talking to yourself.
2. Listen to native English speakers (in person, recordings, etc.) and repeat what you hear, trying to match their accent, speed, etc.
3. Find friends who also want to improve their oral English and spend time together talking in English.
4. Say "hello" to foreigners you see in China. Make sure you smile and use eye contact. This often leads to more conversations.
