Jayaram Speakwell attempts to quell basic doubts and mistakes that students and young people who are taught in the Tamil medium make. These mistakes cause them to feel shy about speaking in English. Books on spoken English are written as if they are just points of grammar. Hence, learners read and do the exercises. Then they forget them soon after the examinations. But this book deals with all the mistakes, not in a pedantic and pedagogic way, but in a practical and pragmatic way so that the students and the other learners identify them, learn how to avoid them .

As students go through this book, they will be able to identify their mistakes and rectify them themselves. All the points are examined and exemplified and explained exhaustively. By doing all the exercises the learners can grasp the right things and learn them by rote. Long exercises have been divided into smaller ones to avoid monotony. Teachers can make use of the small exercises (say, 4 A) and pass on to the other exercises depending on the pace of the learners. They can come back to do the remaining exercises (4B, 4 C) as a revision and make learners internalize the right use of the grammatical items.

Another interesting feature in this book is that the answers for the exercises are given immediately after them. Learners can have immediate reference to them and correct their mistakes. TEACHERS CAN EVEN ENCOURAGE LEARNERS TO REFER TO THE ANSWERS AND WRITE OR TELLTHE RIGHTANSWERS. Surprising, isn't it? The underlining idea is that this book is just for oral practice, and learners are expected to have oral practice with correct sentences.
