* Conclusion

*
* Speaking is a crucial part of second language
learning and teaching.

*

Today's world requires that the goal of
teaching speaking should improve students'
communicative skills, because, only in that
way, learners can express themselves and learn
how to follow the social and cultural rules
appropriate in each communicative
circumstance.

*Why is speaking
important?
* Many language learners regard speaking ability as the measure
* of knowing a language. These learners define fluency as the ability
* to converse with others, much more than the ability to read, write,
* or comprehend oral language.

*

Language learners need to recognize that speaking involves
three areas of knowledge:

*
*
*

Mechanics (pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary):
Functions (transaction and interaction):
Social and cultural rules and norms (turn-taking, rate of
speech, length of pauses between speakers, relative roles of
participants):

The goal of teaching speaking skills is communicative efficiency.
Learners should be able to make themselves understood, using their
current proficiency to the fullest. They should try to avoid confusion in
the message due to faulty pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, and
to observe the social and cultural rules that apply in each
communication situation.
To help students develop communicative efficiency in speaking,
instructors can use a balanced activities approach that combines:
Language input
Structured output
Communicative output

*What is "Teaching
Speaking"?
* To use language as a means of expressing values and

judgements and organize their thoughts in a meaningful and
logical sequence.

* To produce the English speech sounds and sound patterns
* To use word and sentence stress, and intonation.
* To select appropriate words and sentences.
* To use the language quickly and confidently with few

unnatural pauses, which is called as fluency.(Nunan, 2003)

*What is "Teaching
Speaking"?
* definetely, by "interacting".
* -Communicative language teaching and

collaborative learning serve best for this aim.

* -Communicative language teaching should be
based on real-life situations that require
communication. By using this method in ESL
classes, learners will have the opportunity of
communicating with each other in the target
language.

*How To Teach
Speaking?
* These instructors help students learn to speak

so that the students can use speaking to learn.

* 1. Using minimal responses
* 2. Recognizing scripts
* 3. Using language to talk about language

*How To Teach
Speaking?
