    The key takeaways are that speaking involves two-way communication to keep the listener involved and check understanding. Speaking also involves fluency, accuracy, and focusing on particular aspects like pronunciation and grammar.

    The main components of speaking discussed are interaction, fluency, and accuracy. Interaction involves two-way communication, fluency refers to speaking at a normal speed without hesitation, and accuracy is using correct grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

    Some interactive strategies discussed are making eye contact, using facial expressions, asking check questions, clarifying meaning, and confirming understanding.

    Task 1: Discussion
    1. What is speaking?
    2. Why do people speak?
    3. What do they do when they
    speak?
    Interaction
    It is two–way communication that
    involves using language to keep our
    listener involved in what we are
    saying and to check that they
    understand our meaning.
    Interactive strategies
    • making eye contact
    • using facial expressions
    • asking check questions (e.g.“Do you
    understand?”)
    • clarifying your meaning (e.g.“I mean…”
    “What I’m trying to say is ….”)
    • confirming understanding (e.g.
    “Mm”,“right”)
    Fluency & Accuracy
    • Fluency = speaking at a normal speed,
    without hesitation, repetition or self-
    correction, and with smooth use of
    connected speech
    • Accuracy = the use of correct forms of
    grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation
    Key concepts
    • Focusing regularly on particular
    aspects of speaking, e.g. fluency,
    pronunciation, grammatical accuracy,
    body language
    • Use controlled practice activities when
    focusing on accuracy in speaking.
    Controlled practice activities
    • Activities in which students can use
    only language that has just been
    taught.
    • They are a limited kind of speaking
    practice because they just focus on
    accuracy, not interaction and fluency.
    How to teach speaking skills
    • Prepare learners for speaking tasks:
    – Practise necessary vocabulary
    – Time to organise ideas and what to
    say
    – Practise pronouncing new words and
    expressions
    – Practice in carrying out a task before
    they speak freely
    • Create a task with a reason to
    communicate.
    • Learners, especially beginners, need
    time to take in and process all the
    new language they hear before they
    produce it in speaking.
    Pattern for speaking activities
    • Lead-in: introduction to the topic +
    activities focusing on the new language
    • Practice activities: To give learners
    opportunities to use the new language
    • Post-task activities: Learners discuss
    the topic freely and/or ask teacher
    questions about the language used.
