Nearly 50% of the jobs available want people with the ability to speak English - and it's hard to do when the many of the teachers in school often only learned it from a book, and that is how they teach the pronunciation to their students.
Students may also listen to movies or podcasts or television, but it is difficult if you don't have a chance to practice. We try to have them practice as much as possible, though sometimes it is a challenge to get them to open up. Once they relax, they really seem to enjoy not only the participation but also the camaraderie of everyone.
Although we read from the Bible and stick to the text, we also try to help our students relate to what was happening at the time of the writing. This way, they can often see how they can apply it to their lives.
