Babies learn to speak by repeating what they hear, so you can use this method when teaching spoken English at any age level. Simply say the words that you'd like students to know, and have them repeat the words. Point to objects or mimic actions; as students repeat what you are saying, they will learn what that word is. You can start with small words and common words, and work your way up to bigger and more complex words and ideas, in the same way that infants learn speech.
Teach by conversation. In a conversation, non-English speakers might not understand all of the words, and they might not know what is being said. However, through the flow of conversation, and through actions and facial expressions, learners will begin to pick out pieces of the language that they do understand. Through enough conversation activities, students will begin to learn spoken English.
Translate sentences and ideas from the student's native language into English. Then have the student say the phrases back, both in their own language and in English. Although this process takes a long time, it can help students understand the meanings of what they say, and might help them learn more quickly.
Immerse students into an English-speaking class or even an English-speaking area, like a campus or a town. Don't teach by using any type of translation, and even ban dictionaries from your classroom. Speak only in English. Use the words that they might already recognize to explain harder words. Although this might seem like a harder way to learn a language, it actually mimics most closely the ways that babies and children learn to speak. It can be a method to teach spoken English quickly.
