assignment on developing speaking skills
Answers
Answer:
The ability to speak a language is synonymous with knowing that language because speaking is the most basic ways of human communication. Bailey and Savage (1994) said that speaking in second language has often been viewed as that most demanding of the four skills. Speaking skill is the second skill: (1) listening (2) speaking (3) reading (4) writing. Speaking conveys thought, understanding and feeling to listeners. Moreover, it can help listener understands objectives of speaker. Thus, speaking skill is important for communication in every day life. Second language learning, speaking skill is necessary because a person who can speak able to understand other. Also, it helps reading and writing skill to be easy. However, this skill is the complicate skill that speaker has to practice for long time. It does not occur to understanding or remembrance. So, Roger Scott (1981) purposes the steps of teaching and activities as below:
Informing objectives – teacher should tell learners what do we learn.
Presentation – teacher should present contents with context. Teacher does not present without context because some contexts are different in another context.
Practising and conveying – learners will practice suddenly after teacher present contents. Teacher should provide a variety of expressions and native speaker accent. Teacher also encourages learner to learn freely and similar real situations.
Moreover, Mary Finocchiaro and Christopher Brumfit (1983) explained that there are many activities for speaking teaching that teachers can choose appropriately an activity for students in each level as below:
Answering questions that teachers or friends ask.
Telling friends to act with order.
Letting students ask or answer friends’ questions related to classroom or outside experiences.
Telling characters of objects from the pictures.
Telling experiences by providing key words.
Reporting stories from assigned topics.
Setting classroom as scenes of some situations like restaurant, bank, and grocery.
Debating, discussing, and expressing your ideas.
Playing language games.
Practising to telephone.
Reading Thai newspapers and reporting in English
Role playing.
Speaking is divided into two main areas which are monologue and dialogue.
Monologue is a person who speaks without interaction with other people (one person show) such as speech. Another one is dialogue that has at least 2 people talking together such as conversation. Moreover, people have to know some important means (managing interaction) to speak such as openings and closings, responding appropriately in fixed routine, taking turns, and topic management.
There are several activities for developing speaking skills.
