First Language Interference The speaking test is scored on a band system from 0~9. A score of 0 is someone who cannot speak any English at all. A score of 9 is someone who can speak English in the exactly the same way as an educated native speaker of English. So the higher scores 6, 7 and 8 are quite near to ―native-speaker style English‖. This is where our next problems occurs. When we speak a second language most people are heavily influenced by their first Mat Clark – IELTS Speaking 8 language. (Regardless of what these languages are.) This causes problems because as we have just seen, to get a higher score for speaking it is essential to produce ―native speaker style English‖, but in fact most candidates produce Chinese style spoken English. In other words, they speak English in a similar way to how they speak Chinese. It is not easy to instantly change your style of speaking, but one important step is to first consider the style of your first language and compare this with the style of the second language. Basically, to be able to speak English in the style of a native speaker, it is necessary to compare spoken Chinese with spoken English. When you can recognize the differences between these two speaking systems, it will be much easier to work on removing elements of your first language influence from your second language speech. Building a clear picture of how these two spoken languages differ makes it easier to produce a more ―authentic style‖ of English. Think about the way you speak your first language (most likely Chinese). Try to list some points based on the style that native-speakers actually speak your language. Remember, we are not thinking about the actual language system here; we are dealing with the way that language is commonly used its spoken form. The next section deals with this important step. |
