Speaking skills are a fundamental component of the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) that empower newcomers to engage actively within their communities. Mastering oral communication through targeted CLB speaking benchmarks enables individuals to build confidence, express their ideas clearly, and participate meaningfully in social, educational, and professional settings across Canada.
This blog post explores how focusing on CLB speaking skills opens doors to community involvement, whether through volunteering, attending local events, or participating in workshops. Effective spoken language skills not only enhance everyday interactions but also serve as a bridge for newcomers to build relationships and establish networks vital for personal and professional growth.
Additionally, we highlight practical ways learners can practice and improve their speaking abilities, such as joining conversation circles or using digital resources available at CLB Worksheets. By committing to developing these oral communication skills, newcomers can overcome linguistic barriers and fully embrace the rich cultural landscape of their new home.
