the suggested topic or situation. The teacher should lead his pupil to unprepared
speaking through prepared speaking.
2. Strategies for developing speaking skills.
1. Use group work
This increases the sheer amount of learner talk going on in a limited period of
time and also lowers the inhibitions of learners who are unwilling to speak in front
of the full class. It is true that group work means the teacher cannot supervise all
learner speech, so that not all utterances will be correct, and learners may
occasionally slip into their native language; nevertheless, even taking into
consideration occasional mistakes and mother-tongue use, the amount of time
remaining for positive, useful oral practice is still likely to be far more than in the
full-class set-up.
2. Base the activity on easy language
In general, the level of language needed for a discussion should be
lower
than
that used in intensive language-learning activities in the same class: it should be
easily recalled and produced by the participants, so that they can speak fluently
with the minimum of hesitation. It is a good idea to teach or review essential
vocabulary before the activity starts.
