| Publisher Description: Daring to Speak unravels 22 ideas to improve the ability to speak English. The book is primarily for non-native speakers of English at intermediate to advanced level who feel stuck and find it hard to get up to the next level. Park, who developed a good command of English in Korea and has lived in the U.S. for over two decades, ministering to English-speaking congregations and teaching at higher learning institutions, tackles language issues as well as cultural issues that hinder students of English from improving their ability to speak English. After briefly addressing the importance of active and effective listening and broad reading, Daring to Speak delves into practical ideas that will help readers to boost their capabilities to speak English. The ideas include, but not limited to, finding speaking partners, giving publish speeches, seeking feedback, learning about the culture of English-speaking countries, preparing and asking questions, being real and true to oneself, and speaking the truth in love. The book is filled with personal anecdotes, uplifting words of encouragement, and practical ideas that can be readily applied. |
