Speaking Programme
Don’t just learn English. Start speaking it.
Free Placement TestThe NYLA Speaking Programme is designed for students who want to express themselves more comfortably, fluently and confidently when speaking English.
The main aim of the programme is to help you not only understand English but use it actively. In lessons, you practise speaking on a wide range of topics, from everyday life to professional life, and you are supported in developing your vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency and communication skills.
Knowing more words is not enough to improve your speaking. You need to speak, make mistakes, get feedback and speak again. At NYLA, this process takes place in a safe and supportive learning environment.
What Does the Speaking Programme Develop?
Fluent Speaking
Develop your ability to form sentences more naturally and fluently when speaking English, without stopping to search for words.
Everyday Communication
Practise communicating in English across the different situations you may meet in daily life. Develop your ability to introduce yourself, chat, share ideas, ask questions and talk about a variety of topics.
Using Vocabulary
Don’t just know the words you learn — use them in the right contexts to expand your active vocabulary.
Pronunciation
Improve the clarity of your speech by working on pronouncing English words and sentences more intelligibly.
Expressing Your Thoughts in English
Instead of translating word for word from Turkish into English, learn to express your thoughts in English more quickly and naturally.
Speaking on a Range of Topics
Broaden your range of vocabulary and expressions by speaking about areas such as daily life, travel, culture, technology, work, social life and current affairs.
Listening and Responding
Conversation is about more than just speaking. We also develop your listening skills so that you can understand the other person, respond appropriately and keep the conversation going.
Learn by Speaking
In our speaking lessons, your active participation is our top priority.
In lessons, activities such as: Everyday conversations Question-and-answer activities Role-play exercises Discussions and sharing ideas Speaking about images and videos Real-life scenarios Vocabulary and expression work help you use English actively.
Our aim is for you not just to say “I know English”, but to be able to say “I can speak English”.
Improve Through Feedback
Mistakes made while speaking are a natural part of the learning process.
At NYLA, we believe it is more important to keep the conversation going than to keep stopping yourself mid-sentence. Where needed during the lesson, your teacher gives feedback on your: Use of grammar Word choice Pronunciation Sentence structure Fluency to help you improve.
