Please Help!!! General Spoken English Class.

Dear friends,

I have some private EFL students who need to improve their Spoken English. One of the students wants to learn more about the short forms as real native speakers of English use in their daily English life (wanna, gonna). Can anybody provide me with such information how I can find such materials. #Also, any other information, worksheets or/and/ links, materials etc that you think would be useful for a General Spoken English Class. Please send to my email 89sunmoon@gmail.com any General Spoken English teaching material. Your help is highly appreciated Tongue

Thanks in advance Handshake

useful worksheets ( I have used the first one coming up with great success in my classroom)

The thing is - if your students ever went to England or the USA and used words like
gonna and wanna at a job interview- it wouldn �t go down well.

It �s fine to use - couldn �t or can �t or won �t - but not gonna.
I know of many corporations and companies that don �t accept that form of language.

I agree with Libertybelle - gonna and wanna are not considered to be a correct form of English - not even in informal English.

Yes. You do hear these forms, and your students might need to be aware of them, but I would never teach them as being acceptable.

They are just the result of one word running into another and not being pronounced clearly.

Hi Libertybelle and Apodo,

I totally agree with both of you, but my student asked me for this because he thinks he would understand Native En Speakers more easily when he goes to Am to study.I already told him that wanna and gonna are not considered to be a correct form of English, and he knows this.
