By the way, my name is Wu Tianjiao, your online tutor for this course. Let’s work together and try to achieve as much as possible. I sincerely hope that you will be able to communicate your ideas freely at the end of this term. Before we start our lesson, I’d like to ask you several questions if you don’t mind. 1. Why do we need to practice our spoken English? 2. What shall we start with? 3. How to improve our oral English efficiently and effectively? 4. Is integration with the culture important? 5. What regional variety shall we follow, British English or American English? To answer the questions mentioned above and some others, you are to reflect upon them first, since these questions are really important for learners. Hope they will be useful to you. I’d love to give you some tips, however, you can do better than I expect if you constantly practice and reflect upon your learning experience.

Still remember the principle of learning a language? It is Learning by doing.
