Summer Revision PART 3: SPEAKING

If you have failed the speaking part, my best piece of advice would be: Go abroad!, travel to the remotest part of an English-speaking country where you can find NO Spaniards.

If your problem is pronunciation, then you can also do some work on your own with the method published by Cambridge English Pronunciation in Use. There are several levels ranging from the elementary up to the advanced, although you should be OK with the intermediate.
If your main weakness is fluency, there is a very good method called Streaming Speech, although I must say it is rather expensive. You can buy the book and CD-rom or you can do an online course. Have a look at the web page, do some demos and decide if it's really worth it:
