I. 2 common mistakes in the process of self-studying IELTS Speaking at home
1. Error 1: Allowing oneself to fall into repetitive mistakes without correction
One thing that I'm sure many of you have experienced when self-studying for the IELTS at home is getting stuck in a cycle of repeating the same question verbatim. For instance, responding with “my favorite color is…” when asked “what is your favorite color?” or, more accurately, not knowing where one's mistake lies in order to rectify it.
Personally, I find that if one practices Speaking alone, it's very difficult to detect such errors because often we ourselves cannot know where we are wrong.
2. Error 2: Lacking the correct self-study method
I firmly believe that this is not only something I've experienced, but also many of you encounter when first starting to self-study for the IELTS Speaking test, leading to having too much knowledge to absorb without a proper way to utilize it to the fullest.
Another equally important aspect when Mytouraring for the IELTS Speaking test is when we record our speeches and listen back to them. It's really difficult for us to objectively evaluate ourselves because no matter what factors we rely on, our perception of our own speech will surely differ from how others perceive it, as they don't have the same subjective viewpoint as the speaker.
II. Method to help you correct mistakes in self-studying IELTS Speaking at home
The PEER LEARNING method emerges as a lifesaver for ineffective studying approaches: essentially, this method involves studying together with one or more fellow students, thereby providing each other with objective insights and evaluations on speeches, gradually improving the quality of our Speaking.
Furthermore, explaining the knowledge we've learned to others is also a way to absorb more selectively and deeply. So, thanks to this method, have you found it easier to self-study IELTS Speaking at home?
