Grammar
Like vocabulary, grammar is also an obstacle to their spoken English. Sometimes, they have problem in simple
sentences like a verb’s third-person singular form, although they have the concept of subject-verb agreement in
their head. But when they speak fast, they fail to apply this rule. Some students had problems in using past tense
they tend to switch unconsciously from past tense to present tense. It was also observed that students would
think about the particular grammar item being involved before producing the utterance. But this strategy did not
always work, as in: “In terms of speaking, you will not think too much about what you are going to say. Actually
you will have no time to think, and you have to improvise.
Pronunciation
It was also observed that most of the students speak carefully in order to focus on pronouncing certain words
(especially those less common words). When they speak fast, there are inaccuracies in some sounds,” Few
students have problems with some particular vowels or consonants, although these errors would not lead to
unintelligibility.
