Comments on: Are spoken English classes useless? https://www.bodhisutra.com English speaking course with classes on phone Wed, 22 Jun 2016 11:08:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Indu Prakash https://www.bodhisutra.com/speaking-and-writing-professional-english/why-spoken-english-classes-suck/#comment-314 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:05:25 +0000 http://www.bodhisutra.com/?page_id=3054#comment-314 I agree with you to the extent that such classes do not impart much knowledge because they do not have their own pattern of grammar, sound symbols, translation from the local language to English, apt glossary, etc. Otherwise no book, audio, video, etc. can ever be a substitute to a seasoned teacher.
For example : “You speak what you write. ‘what’ here is an antecedent-relative pronoun, a pronoun whose antecedent is contained within itself. The sentence is; You speak (that+which) you write. Only a seasoned teacher can clear such doubts from the minds of his students. Pl call me for a demonstration class.
Regards and God bless you.
