Group presentation on "Speaking", based on the book: Celce-Murcia, M. & Olshtain, E. (2000): Discourse and Context in Language Teaching. A Guide for Language Teachers. Chapters 6, 7, 8 &; 9. U.K.: CUP.
This document summarizes a presentation on speaking skills in a second language. It discusses that speaking is often seen as the most difficult skill to master due to the need to consider sociocultural norms, context, and make quick decisions without preparation. Speaking requires mastery of vocabulary, syntax, intonation and discourse markers. Learners can develop compensatory strategies and engage in activities like storytelling and discussions. Maintaining turn-taking, accommodating the listener, and exchanges between native and nonnative speakers are also reviewed. The role of L1 and L2 in interaction and teaching speaking in the classroom are discussed.
This document discusses ways to promote oral skills such as discussion, speeches, role plays, and storytelling. It also covers pronunciation topics like consonants, vowels, intonation, and word stress. Consonants are speech sounds made by closing or partially closing the vocal tract. Vowels are made with an open vocal tract. Intonation involves variations in pitch that are not used to distinguish words. Word stress emphasizes certain syllables or words. The document provides examples for each topic to illustrate pronunciation techniques for teaching oral skills.
The document distinguishes three types of classroom speaking activities:
1) Talk as interaction focuses on social functions like conversations and involves skills like turn-taking and maintaining relationships.
2) Talk as transaction focuses on exchanging information through asking questions and clarifying understanding.
3) Talk as performance involves transmitting information to an audience through speeches and presentations and requires skills like sequencing, pronunciation and engaging the audience.
This document compares and contrasts the differences between written and spoken language. Written language favors precise sentences with embedded clauses, reported speech, and precise vocabulary with little ellipsis. Spoken language favors clauses as the basic unit of construction, uses coordination to add clauses, favors direct speech, tolerates vagueness, uses ellipsis frequently, and includes question tags and performance effects like hesitations, repeats, and false starts. It then provides definitions of speaking as the vocalized form of human communication that starts mentally and includes grammatical, discoursive, strategic, and sociocultural competencies.
This document discusses various communication strategies used by second language learners to cope with difficulties in communicating. It describes strategies such as reduction strategies, achievement strategies, avoidance, paraphrase, and appeal for assistance that learners employ when they encounter a problem communicating. The document also discusses the role of risk-taking versus risk-avoiding strategies in language development and debates the value of directly teaching communication strategies versus allowing strategies to develop naturally.
Communication strategies el salvador10-2hr-wbJoAnn MIller
The document discusses communication strategies for language learning. It defines communication strategies as techniques used by speakers to express meaning when facing difficulties. It then outlines several types of strategies, including reductive strategies like message abandonment or topic avoidance. Stalling strategies delay response through fillers like "uh" or "let me think." Compensatory strategies involve circumlocution, approximation, appealing for help, or using gestures. The document provides examples for each strategy and emphasizes the importance of raising learner awareness, modeling strategies, and providing practice opportunities to incorporate these techniques.
This document discusses enhancing oral interactive work in the foreign language classroom by teaching communicative and negotiation strategies. It describes how students can help each other focus on meaning and form after learning specific strategies. Breakdowns in communication can occur due to issues with language form, meaning, or lack of strategies to continue or make conversations meaningful. The document outlines oral communicative strategies like time-gaining and maintenance strategies. It also describes oral negotiation strategies such as clarification requests, confirmation checks, and comprehension checks that focus on form. Learning these strategies can help students become better listeners, maintain conversations, and focus on both meaning and form.
The document discusses conversational repair and presuppositions in child language development. It describes how children at different stages will repair a misunderstood message by revising speech sounds, words, or grammar. The ability to effectively engage in repair develops with more sophisticated language skills. Presuppositions, or assumptions about shared knowledge with the listener, also emerge gradually as children's language advances. The document also examines repair in conversations involving speakers with aphasia and how slowed speech rates can improve comprehension.

Transactional and Interactional Function of Language discusses the different functions of language. Transactional language is used to transfer information and achieve specific goals or results, while interactional language serves to maintain social relationships. Transactional language involves communication strategies, questioning, clarification, and confirmation. Interactional language aims to create connections, trust, and a positive social atmosphere. Several aspects can influence politeness in communication, including culture, social status, distance, age, and power dynamics.
This document discusses developing speaking skills. It defines language skills as including understanding (listening and reading), speaking (spoken interaction and production), and writing. Receptive skills are listening and reading, interactive skills involve spoken and written interaction between people, and productive skills are spoken and written production. The Common European Framework divides language proficiency into 6 levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery). Examples are given of what learners at the A2 and B2 levels can do in terms of describing themselves and events. The document provides examples of short speaking activities where learners give basic and more detailed descriptions of a university campus in Croatia and interact with an audience by taking turns, giving turns, and summarizing points.
Analysing Students’ Communicative Strategies in Synchronous Telecollaboration...University of Valencia
Talk to be given at the "New Directions in Telecollaborative Research and Practice: The Second Conference on Telecollaboration in University Education" at Trinity College Dublin, 21-23 April, 2016.
Our presentation outlines a study carried out in the context of the European-funded project TILA (Telecollaboration for Intercultural Language Acquisition - Grant Agreement Number 2012-4001/001-001). This two-year project involved secondary school students from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Our aim in this presentation is to offer insights into the verbal and non-verbal characteristics of synchronous telecollaboration (STC). Our corpus consists of twelve recordings of tandem interactions between Spanish and British secondary school students aged between 14 and 15. In the first stage of our analysis we transcribed the video recordings. The transcriptions include all linguistically coded communication –both spoken and written– as well as annotations of paralinguistic and non-linguistic phenomena. In our analysis we draw on Goffman, 1956, Brown and Levinson, 1987 and Pennock-Speck and del Saz-Rubio, 2013. We focus specifically on Goffman’s (1956: 476) notion of deference, “a symbolic means by which appreciation is regularly conveyed to a recipient”. There are two main types of deference: “avoidance rituals”, similar to Brown and Levinson’s (1987) negative politeness strategies, and “presentation rituals” (Goffman, 1956: 481), akin to Brown and Levinson’s (1987) positive politeness strategies.
This research brings to light empirical evidence of the affordances of STC when compared with other kinds of online peer interaction. Our results show that participants systematically use body language and non-verbal cues along with verbal language to make their interlocutors feel at ease, to resolve potentially embarrassing moments and also to offer them praise. It also provides insights into how TC can enhance Classroom Interactional Competence (CIC) defined by Walsh (2011: 158) as “Teachers’ and learners’ ability to use interaction as a tool for mediating and assisting learning”. We posit that TC promotes CIC and that students benefit from the peer-feedback and the peer-scaffolding that ensue from interaction of this kind.
This document discusses different types of conversations and communication. It describes talk as interaction, which involves casual conversations between acquaintances and includes skills like greetings, small talk, and turn-taking. Talk as transaction focuses on exchanging information, as in asking directions or ordering food, using clarification and comprehension checks. Talk as performance involves presenting to an audience, requiring organization, accuracy, and engagement of listeners. It also outlines listener contributions like acknowledgments and questions, and cross-cultural differences in conversations.
Speaking involves the vocalized production of language in real time through the use of the speech organs. It is the hardest of the four language skills due to the limited time for planning. Speaking requires conceptualizing ideas, formulating them syntactically and lexically, articulating sounds, self-monitoring, and employing fluency strategies like pausing, fillers and prefabricated language chunks. Fluency depends on factors like speech rate, length of pauses, and use of fillers. Successful speaking also requires turn-taking skills and knowledge of genres, contexts, and social relationships.
This document discusses communicative competence and strategies. It identifies four components of communicative competence: linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic. It then discusses the roles of students and teachers, with students as negotiators in the learning process and teachers as facilitators. The document outlines features of communicative activities, including information gaps, choice, and feedback. It provides examples of communicative activities such as role plays, running dictations, and games.
The document discusses communicative competence and its related concepts. It begins by defining communicative competence based on Chomsky's distinction between competence and performance. Hymes later expanded on this idea by arguing that communicative competence involves sociocultural factors and the ability to convey and interpret messages within specific contexts. The document then discusses basic interpersonal communicative skills versus cognitive/academic language proficiency. It also covers the different components of communicative competence including grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, strategic, and organizational competence. The document goes on to define language functions and pragmatic concepts such as locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. It also discusses notions related to pragmatics, discourse analysis,
1. The document discusses communication strategies used by second language learners when facing difficulties communicating in a less familiar language. It describes classifications and typologies of different strategies.
2. Key strategies discussed include circumlocution, approximation, appealing for assistance, and avoidance techniques. The implications are that explicitly teaching these strategies can help learners communicate more effectively.
3. The case study analyzes the strategies used by an interviewee placed at an A2 language level, such as paraphrasing, borrowing words, and asking for clarification.

Discourse structure chapter 4 by Ahmet YUSUFأحمد يوسف
This document discusses two views of discourse structure - as a product and as a process. It describes how discourse can be analyzed by looking at its hierarchical rank structure with different levels like lessons, transactions, exchanges, moves and acts. It also examines turn-taking in conversations and how speakers negotiate turns through mechanisms like pauses and intonation which can vary between cultures. Finally, it characterizes conversation as a mutually constructed process where participants feel their way forward together through established patterns and repair.
This document discusses various approaches to teaching grammar in schools. It notes that grammar was popular in certain decades but is making a modest comeback. It considers whether grammar should be taught explicitly or discovered by students. The document also examines typical grammar problems students have, debates whether grammar matters, and presents a three-stage model for teaching it. It suggests grammar be integrated into other language skills and explored within authentic texts. The discussion considers challenges teachers face and how grammar could be taught at a particular school.
This document summarizes different approaches to grammar:
- The syntactocentric perspective defines grammar as accounting for an ideal speaker's knowledge of structure and predicts language use.
- The communicative perspective treats grammar as one resource for communicating messages and interpretations.
- Traditional grammar focuses on prescriptive rules and exceptions, while structural grammar describes morphology and syntax patterns.
- Transformational-generative grammar reveals an underlying universal grammar.
- Corpus linguistics analyzes large text collections to show language patterns and variation.
- Systemic-functional grammar sees grammar and meaning as interconnected within contexts.
- Speech act theory views communication as appropriate language use within a context.

The document discusses principles of oral communication skills in English. It covers 5 main topics: 1) oral communication skills, emphasizing accuracy, fluency, and affective factors, 2) types of spoken language including monologues, dialogues, and transactional vs. interpersonal language, 3) challenges of speaking like clustering, redundancy, reduced forms, and interaction, 4) microskills of oral production, and 5) types of classroom speaking performances such as imitative, intensive, responsive, transactional, interpersonal, and extensive speaking. The overall document provides an overview of best practices for teaching oral communication in a second language classroom.
This document provides guidance for assessing students' understanding of how spoken language adapts based on context. It outlines the assessment criteria for bands 3 through 5, with the highest band (5) requiring a "perceptive understanding" of how language changes according to situation as well as how speakers' language choices can influence others. Examples are used to support responses at each band level.
Communicative methods involve using speech to express meanings to others through pronouncing words, answering questions, using intonation, asking for clarification, taking part in discussions, and adapting speech for the listener. Interactions are two-way communications that keep the listener involved through making eye contact, speaking fluently, using facial expressions, asking check questions, clarifying meaning, and confirming understanding. Common speaking strategies include instructing, eliciting, narrating, prompting, asking for repetition, monitoring activities, persuading, asking for help, and commenting. Phrasal verbs are verb phrases with prepositions or adverbs that have different meanings than their separate parts, such as bring on, look at, take off, and put on
Language functions - alexis john b. benedictoAlexisJohn5
This document discusses language functions and forms. Language functions refer to the purposes of communication, such as comparing, persuading, asking questions. Forms are the grammatical structures and vocabulary used to support functions, including verbs, nouns, prepositions. Examples are provided of common language functions in both oral and academic writing contexts. Language functions and forms work together - learners must acquire both to improve proficiency. Teachers should understand the functional and structural demands of tasks to support students' language development.
Communication strategies to improve oral productiongeorginafernandez
The document discusses strategies for improving oral production in a second language. It describes features like simplification, ellipsis, formulaic expressions, and time-creating devices that students use to facilitate speaking. Compensation strategies like self-correction are also discussed as normal and necessary when speaking. Examples are provided to illustrate each strategy and activities are suggested for practicing dialogues.
The document discusses communication strategies used by second language learners. It defines communication strategies as techniques used by speakers to express meaning when facing difficulties in a second language. The document then outlines Tarone's typology of conscious communication strategies, which include avoidance, paraphrase, conscious transfer, appeal for assistance, and mime. It provides examples of different compensatory strategies used by learners such as circumlocution, approximation, use of prefabricated patterns, and code-switching. The document also discusses implications for English language teaching.
This document discusses the key components of spoken language including social context, linguistic knowledge, pragmatic knowledge, register, vocabulary, phonology, grammar, and extra-linguistic knowledge. It notes that speaking takes place in real time, is usually unplanned and collaborative, and involves using language, tone, gestures and other cues. Effective speaking requires knowledge of discourse markers, turn-taking, giving and receiving feedback, and adapting one's language to different contexts.
1) The document discusses the challenges of speaking in a second language and strategies to improve oral communication skills. It notes that speaking requires not just grammatical competence but understanding of social and cultural norms.
2) Several factors that can lead to mismatches in oral communication are explored, including lack of linguistic knowledge, different background knowledge between speakers, and differences in sociocultural expectations.
3) The document provides advice for language learners and teachers to help strengthen oral abilities, such as using compensatory strategies, engaging in activities like storytelling and discussions, and creating an supportive environment in the classroom.
This document discusses factors that affect speaking in a second language, including linguistic, pragmatic, and sociocultural considerations. It notes that speaking is often the most difficult skill to learn as it requires comprehending and producing language in real time while attending to social and contextual cues. The document outlines strategies for developing speaking abilities, such as role plays, discussions, using compensatory strategies, and receiving feedback. It emphasizes the importance of authentic speaking practice and developing sociopragmatic competence to communicate effectively in a new language.

The document also discusses factors that affect pronunciation learning, such as native language and age, and provides a model for correcting speech errors. Overall, the document offers guidance on techniques for developing students' oral communication abilities.
This document provides an agenda and discussion points for a workshop on language development and acquisition. The agenda includes reviewing course content, conducting peer reviews of oral language and reading/writing analyses, an overview of case study requirements, and feedback on the course. Discussion points focus on teachers as observers of language, language variation, stages of typical second language acquisition, analyzing a learner's oral language skills using linguistic tools, and analyzing a learner's reading development using concepts of phonology, semantics, syntax and pragmatics. The document provides guidance for peer reviewing analyses and developing findings and conclusions.
This document provides an overview of applied linguistics and how knowledge of linguistics can help teachers support English learners. It defines applied linguistics as investigating and addressing language-related problems in both first and second language acquisition. The document outlines key aspects of linguistics including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It explains that while teachers do not need the same depth of knowledge as applied linguistics experts, they should understand language acquisition theories and how knowledge of linguistics can help them teach English, support communication skills, evaluate students appropriately considering their backgrounds, and socialize students into the school culture.
This document discusses factors that make speaking a foreign language difficult and principles for designing speaking techniques and activities in the classroom. It addresses the following key points:
1) Successful language acquisition involves the ability to accomplish pragmatic goals through interactive discourse. Several factors make speaking difficult, including affective factors like anxiety, the interactive nature of communication, and performance variables like hesitations.
2) Speaking activities in the classroom include imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive types. Techniques should be intrinsically motivating, address a range of learner needs, and provide appropriate feedback.
3) Teaching conversation can involve direct instruction of speaking skills or an indirect approach of conversation practice. Individual practice and other interactive techniques
The document discusses various techniques for teaching speaking skills, including both direct and indirect approaches. It emphasizes using tasks that focus on meaningful communication over language practice. Specific techniques mentioned include conversation practice, transactional activities like ordering from a catalog, and individual oral dialogue journals. Principles for designing speaking techniques include using a variety that cover accuracy and fluency, providing meaningful contexts, feedback, and opportunities for student initiation of oral communication. The document also discusses teaching pronunciation and considerations around error correction.
The document discusses the communicative language teaching (CLT) approach. Some key points include:
- CLT focuses on providing learners with opportunities to use language for meaningful purposes rather than just studying its structure.
- Developing both fluency and accuracy in a language is important. Errors are seen as a natural part of the learning process.
- Classroom activities should involve real-world tasks and communication to promote language use.
- The goals are for learners to develop communicative competence, understanding how to use language appropriately in different contexts and for various functions.
This document discusses teaching speaking skills. It covers topics like types of spoken language, what makes speaking difficult, micro-and macro-skills of speaking, principles for teaching speaking like focusing on fluency and accuracy. It also discusses teaching conversation, pronunciation, factors affecting it. The role of feedback and how to treat errors is explained. Assessment of speaking is discussed covering item types, tasks and criteria for evaluation.
This study examined the role of speech style between teachers and students
in learning English. This study was ex post facto research, using quantitative
approach. The students at English Department of Madura University,
Indonesia were the population in this research. A sample was decided using
proportional stratified random sampling technique. The data were analyzed
by simple regression technique. The result of the study showed that the role
of speech style between the teachers and the students in learning English is
0.62 (62%). The speech styles of the teachers and students work on students’
proficiency level in English. Conducive classroom in language learning is
the requirement of the right speech styles of the teachers and the students. It
makes necessary for the teachers to provide students with suitable speech
style with the contexts in order to put up the classroom serving the students
with substantial input.
1) Many language learners view speaking ability as the most important skill and measure of knowing a language.
2) To develop students' communicative efficiency, instructors provide authentic speaking practice and feedback on mechanics, functions, and socio-cultural norms while balancing accuracy and fluency.
3) Instructors give students language input through various means and provide opportunities for structured and communicative output to help students produce grammatically correct language appropriate to contexts.
This power point contains information about the basic concepts of teaching speaking in Second Language, paralinguistic features, phonemic system, paralinguistic features, features of spoken English and the current issues and trends in English language teaching.
The document discusses developing speaking skills in a foreign language. It identifies speaking as one of the four productive skills that must be mastered. It provides tips for improving speaking skills, such as finding native English speakers to practice with, slowing down speech for clarity, and recording oneself to identify areas for improvement. Effective instructors teach speaking strategies like using minimal responses and recognizing scripts to help students expand their language skills and confidence.
Impact of teaching Speaking Skills to Indian Technical StudentsDr.Deepanjali Mishra
Speaking is a communicative process of developing and exchanging meaning through the use of words in oral form explaining a wide range of situation. It is a crucial part of second language learning and teaching. Speaking comprises of one of the four skills of communication. As we all are aware of the fact that English is globally used as a medium of communication which has gained momentum with the emerging trend of internet world, speaking skills should be developed in a more effective way along with three other skills namely Listening, Reading and Writing in-order to enhance communication. This would be beneficial to the native as well as non native speakers of English. In the Indian context, the capability to communicate in English has become important because of its relevance in getting jobs and sitting for campus interviews. We find some Bollywood movies which give emphasis on speaking English like ‘English - Vinglish ’ . It reflects the psychological constraint of an individual who is unable to speak English and hence making efforts to join English classes. This can be a challenging task for all the people who want to learn a non native language .Though Speaking skill is one of the most important skills of communication, yet it is deprived of its importance in our Indian classroom especially in technical institutions where the learners are future engineers and it is expected that the engineering students would acquire the speaking skill from the activities which are discussed in the class. As a result,, these young engineering students and learners of the English language fail to acquire proper training and skill which decreases their confidence to communicate in English
Implicit vs. Explicit Teaching in PragmaticsEda Nur Ozcan
The document discusses teaching pragmatics, which aims to help language learners understand socially appropriate language use. Pragmatics is often overlooked in language education. Explicit teaching of pragmatics through analyzing language examples and contexts is generally more effective than implicit teaching. Various frameworks can inform pragmatics instruction, including noticing hypothesis, output hypothesis, interaction hypothesis, and sociocultural theory. Teachers can use tasks focusing on linguistic or sociocultural aspects to raise pragmatic awareness. Both inductive and deductive approaches show promise, though inductive instruction may lead to longer-lasting pragmatic knowledge.
Speaking is a complex skill that involves more than just pronouncing words. It is the process of building and sharing meaning through verbal and non-verbal communication in a variety of contexts. Speaking skills allow people to convey messages in a clear, thoughtful, and convincing manner so that listeners understand. Teaching speaking skills is important for activities like making presentations, having conversations, reporting information, and solving problems. However, developing strong speaking abilities requires overcoming barriers like a lack of confidence, practice opportunities, and attention to effective techniques.
The document discusses oral communication skills and classroom speaking performance. It describes micro skills which refer to skills at the sentence level used in conversational discourse, and macro skills which are skills at the discourse level. It then outlines various linguistic skills required for oral production, including grammar, vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, pragmatics, and language interaction. Finally, it discusses different types of speaking tasks that can be used in the classroom from imitative tasks that practice language forms, to intensive, responsive, transactional, interpersonal, and extensive speaking tasks which provide opportunities for meaningful interaction and language use.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Choosing the linguistic features
1. Speaking presentation
by Rocio Soto Valic, Erica Ledesma, Claudia Sabor, Daiana de los Santos &
Evelyn Blasón
Teacher: Stella Saubidet
Subject: Language and Written Expression IV
ISFD 18 -2017-
4. Message and medium in oral communication
“I AM HUNGRY”
LOCUTIONARY ILLOCUTIONARY
MEANING FORCES
5. Mismatches and misunderstandings in oral
communication…. WHY?
A)The speaker does not have full command of the target
linguistic knowledge and produces an unintelligible form.
B) The necessary background knowledge is not shared by the
speaker and hearer and they bring a different set of
expectations.
C) The speaker and hearer do not share sociocultural rules of
appropriacy.
7. ★ How does a speaker produce a meaningful utterance?
By the use of his grammatical competence and the relation of the utterance to the
context in which the interaction is carried out.
❖According to Levelt (1978), here are three important contextual factors in speech
production Demand
Aerousal
Feedback
8. Bear in mind that:
Linguistic features have an impact on successful production of spoken discourse
➔ Mastering question formation
➔ Using appropriate word order
Contextual factors and Sociocultural norms play an even more significant role in
successful interaction
➔ Using indirect representations of disagreement
Language ability needs to be combined with sociocultural considerations
9. Maxims of oral interaction
➔Speech act: a verbal utterance functions as a social act
“Please close the window!”
“Your work is not good enough” Illocutionary force
➔Spoken communication: the cooperative principle Speaker and
hearer construct meaning cooperatively
➔Grice(1975) suggests 4 Maxims: they apply when natural conversation
functions efficiently
Quantity - Relevance
Quality - Manner
10. ★ The social and contextual factors play a significant role in
spoken interaction. Speakers need to be aware of sociocultural norms
such as the linguistic features from the target language.
★ Decisions and choices need to be made when a speaker intends to
communicate something in real life situations without prepared speeches.
This is one of the reasons why speaking is often seen as one of the
hardest macro skills to master in another language.
11. Some Prerequisites for Speaking on Another
Language.
● Knowing the vocabulary relevant to the situation
● Ability to use discourse connectors (well; oh; I see; okay)
● Ability to use suitable “opening and closing phrases”
● Ability to comprehend and use reduced forms (vowels sounds)
● Knowing the syntax for producing basic clauses
● Ability to use the basic intonation and tone patterns
● Ability to use proper rhythm, stress and to make proper pauses
12. Compensatory Strategies
How learners or nonnative speakers can overcome their limitations in speaking by
adjusting or approximating the message, paraphrasing, getting help from the
native speaker.
These strategies can be developed by exposure to authentic speech and by
participating in a larger variety of oral practice activities such as spontaneous
conversations.
13. Common Activities for Speaking
● Story-telling
● Descriptions
● Self-reports
● Re-telling
● Discussions
15. Maintaining the flow of speech
· In a conversation, the roles of the speaker and the hearer switch between them
in the way that ideas are transferred.
· Turn-taking rules make possible for the speaker and hearer to change the
roles constantly and construct shared meaning.
· Members of community speech deal with exchanges by allowing overlap (if
acceptable) and pauses lengths.
· Conversation analysis attempts to describe developed sequences and the
sequential constraints, typical of the natural flow of conversation.
· Learners of a new language has to recognize and develop new rules of
behavior.
16. Accommodating the hearer
· The speaker needs to accommodate the hearer and facilitate the interpretation
of the spoken message. (Cooperative principle)
· The speaker needs to pay attention to body language and overall reaction.
· The speaker should attend to unexpected mishaps in exchanges, especially if
it is the initiator of a conversation.
17. Native and nonnative speakers
· Nonnative speakers need to expend much greater effort and exert more
attention to keep the flow of interaction.
· The learner L2 should develop strategies that will help him/her to convey
meaning in a conversation.
· Native speaker can control the conversation or he/she may use inappropriate
words which make the nonnative feel insulted.
· Speakers of L2 requires self-awareness and self-evaluation, tolerance and
accommodation.
19. Interaction using L1 and L2
· L1 and L2 are similar in the use of communication strategies. (Conceptual
strategies)
· The difference between native speaker and nonnative speakers is the
frequency and formulation types.
· Experiments dealing with spoken discourse.
24. - Provide students helpful and constructive FEEDBACK.
- Provide them with a specific spoken GENRE and context.
- Provide EXAMPLES of useful expressions, connectors, etc. You should use
written transcripts.
- Emphasize a successful transmission of the MESSAGE.
- Create opportunities to integrate different SKILLS.
26. The teaching of SPOKEN LANGUAGE in the
LANGUAGE CLASSROOM is perceived as a
very difficult task form both the TEACHER and
the STUDENTS.
Take into consideration that:
- The teaching materials are not based on descriptions of WRITTEN
ENGLISH.
- The teaching of speaking be focused on a PRAGMATIC perspective.
- Contextual and situational features of spoken interaction must become an
INTEGRAL part of classroom activities.
