Stages of speaking
1. Speaking is an interactive process that involves constructing meaning through producing, receiving, and processing information that depends on context.
2. There are three stages of speaking: pre-speaking involves planning and organizing ideas, speaking involves actively engaging with audiences, and post-speaking is a time for reflection and goal setting.
3. During the pre-speaking stage, students choose topics, determine their purpose and audience, and decide on a format. The speaking stage has students communicate their ideas through formal and informal situations. In the post-speaking stage, students reflect on their performance and set goals for improvement with teacher and peer feedback.
Freer Speaking Activities
This document provides information and suggestions for teaching speaking skills through freer speaking activities. It begins by stating the aims of reminding teachers about speaking as a skill, a range of freer speaking activities, and how to develop student fluency. It then distinguishes between speaking as a skill versus language practice, and lists common speaking skills. The document outlines stages for freer speaking activities and provides examples of discussion questions, topics, and language for interrupting. It concludes with contact information for the author.

The document describes two activities called Articulate and Gesticulate. In Articulate, one person describes words to their partner who tries to guess them within 30 seconds. In Gesticulate, the same is done but without speaking, only through gestures. It then prompts questions to reflect on learning skills used and how they could apply elsewhere. The purpose was to develop oral literacy, confidence, participation and knowledge through an enjoyable group activity.
Listening
The document discusses listening skills and provides activities to improve listening abilities. It begins by defining hearing versus listening, noting that listening requires conscious effort to understand. It then discusses the importance of listening in communication and relationships. Several listening models and strategies are presented, including active listening techniques. Finally, three activities are described to practice and improve listening skills: a game of telephone, selective listening, and group storytelling.
WAFA IPA Presentation
IPA involves students taking responsibility for their own learning by sharing experiences and motivating each other through communication. It uses backward design with 3 steps: 1) identify learning goals aligned to standards and assessments, 2) design formative and summative assessments, and 3) plan engaging learning activities to prepare students for assessments. Assessments evaluate students' interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication skills through tasks like conversations, reading comprehension, and presentations. The goal is to help students become independent lifelong learners who can apply their language skills in real-world settings.

Discusses about the nature and importance of listening and how it imposes great significance to learning.
Detailed copy of the topic: (FOR HAND-OUTS)
LISTENING
“A mental operation involving processing sound waves, interpreting their meaning, and storing their meaning in memory.”
Out of the four language skills, (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening)
LISTENING HAS BEEN SADLY NEGLECTED
LANGUAGE
Basically ORAL
Students should develop their listening and speaking skills side by side with their reading and writing skills
60% - 70% of the time
An average student can listen to their teachers and classmates in school, to their parents and other members of the family at home, to announcers on the radio and television programs.
IMPORTANCE OF LISTENING
Accurate and perceptive listening will minimize misunderstandings and help students to sustain satisfying and productive relationships.
Careful listening can be critical to work situations.
Listening enables listeners to provide feedback to speakers.
Effective listening abilities strengthen the other language arts: reading comprehension and written communication.
NATURE OF LISTENING
LISTENING
A complex skill that requires attention and energy
Involves;
Recognition - Selection - Short Memory - Inference
Explanation:
The listener recognizes the sounds and the words; he engages in a process of selection on two levels – selecting sounds and words and grouping them into meaningful units as well as selecting the information relevant to his purpose in listening. This information is stored in then stored in the short-term memory, ready to be used; the inference is about the speakers age, beliefs, feelings, etc. Is an important micro-skill in listening.
LISTENING
A creative skill.
We hear sounds, words, the rise and fall of voice, from all which we create significance.
We listen not for the words alone but for the meanings.
Rivers; significance depends on three factors:
Linguistic information which the listeners perceive aurally of sounds, words, and their arrangements in utterances
Situational context of the utterance
Intentions of the speaker
Many of the students can hear but do not comprehend because it is only the linguistic content of the utterance that is given attention.
Developing listening and speaking skills
The document discusses developing listening and speaking skills in the classroom. It emphasizes the importance of listening as key to effective communication. Some principles of listening discussed include stopping talking, maintaining eye contact, avoiding distractions, keeping an open mind, and listening for ideas rather than just words. Common problems identified are that students' only interaction with English is in class and they make mistakes when speaking. The document provides tips for activities to improve listening skills, such as games, surveys and paired or group work. It also discusses making speaking class relevant by using current events and problems to promote critical thinking.
Listening for specific details
This document discusses strategies for listening for and noting specific details from lectures. It recommends paying attention to how the lecture is organized, with introductions, bodies, and conclusions. For introductions, note summaries of previous classes but not general introductions. In bodies, write down as many details as possible. In conclusions, continue noting details as the conclusion may contain overlooked information. It also presents four methods for organizing notes, such as listing main points and associated details vertically or having details precede main points.
Teachers and learners language in the classroom
The document discusses the functions of language used by teachers and learners in the classroom, identifying purposes such as instructing, explaining, narrating, eliciting, prompting, correcting, and conveying meaning. It also identifies functions of learners' language like asking questions, asking for clarification, and interacting appropriately. Finally, it categorizes learners' mistakes as either oral or written and discusses accuracy issues related to grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and appropriateness.
Reading and writing macroskills
This document provides guidance for teachers on developing students' reading and writing skills in English. It discusses reading and writing as receptive and productive macroskills and emphasizes the importance of meaning. Several activities are suggested to help students connect sounds and letters, recognize words and phrases, develop reading independence, and enjoy the writing process. The document stresses linking reading and writing to students' existing knowledge and creating purposeful opportunities for communication.
Direct Method
The document summarizes the key principles and techniques of the Direct Method for teaching language. It focuses on connecting meaning directly to the target language without translation, using real-world topics and situations. Some techniques include reading aloud, question and answer exercises, conversation practice, dictation, and paragraph writing. Grammar and vocabulary are taught inductively through demonstration, pictures, and sentences rather than explicit instruction or single words. The goal is for students to communicate in the target language through speaking practice.
English Language Learning on ELTR Program By HEC
1. The document discusses various theoretical aspects of teaching the four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. It addresses both macro skills and microskills that make up each skill.
2. It explores isolating the four skills versus integrating them, noting that in reality it is difficult to completely isolate them due to similarities in their underlying microskills. An integrated approach is often best.
3. The document discusses concepts for teaching the four skills effectively, including scaffolding, learner autonomy, and interactive teaching. Scaffolding involves adjusting support levels based on students' needs, while learner autonomy focuses on independence and self-directed learning.
Silent w (2)
The Silent Way method developed by Caleb Gattegno in 1970 focuses on students discovering and exploring grammar inductively through cognitive principles. Teachers act as facilitators by using tools like sound/color charts, sentence construction rods, and word charts to guide students to explore and practice the language independently and orally in silence. The goal is for students to become autonomous learners by working first on oral skills and using their errors to further their language learning.
How To Teach Writing
This document provides guidance on how to teach writing to students. It recommends considering students' level, interests, and number/type of assignments. The writing process involves pre-writing, organizing, writing, revising, and sharing. Teachers should see errors as opportunities for learning rather than failures and focus on meaning over mechanics when providing feedback. Suggested writing activities include altering dictations, writing newspaper articles, reports, letters, menus, posters, emails and advertisements.

Learning styles nib
This document discusses different learning styles and multiple intelligences. It identifies three main learning styles - visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. Visual learners learn through seeing, auditory learners learn through listening, and tactile/kinesthetic learners learn through moving, doing, and touching. It also discusses seven types of multiple intelligences - visual/spatial, verbal, logical/mathematical, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. For each type of intelligence, it provides examples of relevant skills and potential career paths. The document aims to help readers understand how they learn best.
Different approaches to teach english as a second language
The document discusses the history and theories of second language acquisition. It describes key theorists who studied how humans learn language, including Leonard Bloomfield, B.F. Skinner, Noam Chomsky, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. It then outlines different language teaching methods that have been developed over time based on behavioral, cognitive and socio-cultural theories of language learning. These include audiolingualism, silent way, total physical response, and the natural approach. The document concludes by discussing principles of communicative language teaching and the importance of developing students' communicative competence.
Reading to Speak
This presentation discusses integrating oral communication skills into English language teaching. It summarizes an article that argues speaking should be added to reading and writing lessons to ensure students practice oral skills. Three effective activities are described: read to act, where students act out stories; read to debate, where they discuss issues from texts; and read to interview, where they interview each other about texts. The goal is for students to improve spoken English, communication skills, and critical thinking by practicing oral representation of ideas from readings.
Discover the kinesthetic side of your life
This document discusses the characteristics of kinesthetic learners. Kinesthetic learners prefer active, hands-on learning rather than traditional classroom settings. They learn best by touching, moving, and interacting with physical materials. Some key traits of kinesthetic learners are that they gesture when they speak or read, carry objects to fidget with, prefer interactive discussions over lectures or slides, and have trouble studying in environments with distractions like TVs. The document recommends providing kinesthetic learners with computers, calculators, typewriters and keeping to routines to support their learning style.
Ch 14 strategies for successful speaking and successful listening
This document provides strategies for successful speaking and listening. It discusses what speaking and listening are, as well as strategies to improve both skills. For speaking, it recommends being well-prepared, organizing ideas logically, creating a positive impression, maintaining eye contact, and keeping the audience interested. For listening, it suggests focusing on the message, comprehending and evaluating, and remembering. Active listening techniques include giving full attention, asking questions, reflecting, clarifying, and summarizing. The benefits of listening include developing a positive attitude, improving communication, showing interest, obtaining useful information, and creating understanding.
Stages of a Listening Lesson
The document outlines the purpose and importance of various components of an English language lesson, including warm-ups, lead-ins, pre-teaching vocabulary, listening/reading for gist and detail, and follow-ups. It recommends allocating 5-10% of class time for warm-ups and lead-ins, 10-20% for pre-teaching vocabulary, 20-30% for listening/reading for gist, 30-40% for detail, and around 20% for follow-ups. The purposes are to energize students, contextualize topics, facilitate comprehension, and allow students to react to and transfer knowledge from lesson content.
How to introduce your speaking task
This document provides guidance on how to introduce a speaking task. It recommends that introductions be solid, quick, and concise to make a good first impression. It advises determining the purpose of the task, which is usually to present an opinion, explain facts, summarize another's position, or describe something important. The introduction should state the topic or thesis and then state the reasons or facts to support it depending on the task. Introductions for opinions use phrases like "I believe" while those for summarizing others use phrases like "This person argues." The introduction is meant to be brief and to the point.
