Conclusion
Why is speaking important?

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.
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)
How To Teach 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.

Suggestions for teaching Speaking:

While teaching oral language teachers should;


provide a rich environment that contains collaborative work,
authentic materials and tasks
try to involve each student in every speaking activity
not correct students' pronunciation mistakes very often
reduce their own speaking time while increasing student speaking
time
Practical Application:
lets play spot the differences game
THIS IS THE EXAMPLE FOR MAKE THE STUDENTS SPEAKING
WE CAN GIVE A DIFFERENT PICTURE AND THEN MAKE THE STUDENTS
SPEAKING
FOR MAKE IT MORE FUN WE CAN MAKE A GAME LAKE THIS

Divide into two groups,


Look at the pictures and try to find ten differences!
FIND THE TEN DIFFERENCES
Practical Application:
lets play cocktail party game


OR WE CAN TRY THIS GAME

Get a half of the picture,


Do not show to others,
Describe your picture and
try to find the rest of yours!
Conclusion

Rather than leading students to pure memorization, providing a


rich environment where meaningful communication takes place is
desired.
Learners should be more active in the learning process by means
of interactive activities.
Take Home Message:

Speaking English is the main goal of many adult ESL learners.
