Learning the language = learning how to speak the language. “Success is measured in terms of the ability to carry out a conversation in the (target) language." (Nunan, 1991).No opportunities to speak=> Ss get de-motivated and lose interest in learning. 2. Speaking in class can be a lot of funWhy should we teach speaking skill in the classroom?Speaking is fundamental to human communicationIn our daily life, we speak more than we writeGoal of an English course is truly to enable students to communicate in English TEACHING SPEAKINGCOMMON ARGUMENTS COMMON ARGUMENTS AGAINST TEACHING SPEAKING IN CLASSROOMStudents won't talk or say anything When students work in pairs or groups they just end up chatting in L1When all the students speak together it gets too noisy and out of hand and I lose control of the classroom DEALING WITH COMMONARGUMENTS AGAINSTTEACHING SPEAKING Students won't talk or say anythingArrange classroom desks differentlyTeach classroom language on the very first lesson, keep on teaching and encourage students to ask questions or for things in EnglishGive positive feedbackAllocate a percentage to their final grade (on-going assessment)Use communicative speaking activities to capture their interest and create a real need for communicationSpeak in English yourself as much as possible in classWhen students work in pairs or groups they just end up chatting in L1Is the activity or task pitched at the right level for the students? Are all the students actively involved and is the activity interesting? Is the timing good?Is another way to discourage students speaking in their L1 to walk around the classroom monitoring their participation and giving support and help to students as they need it?When all the students speak together it gets too noisy and out of hand and I lose control of the classroom A classroom full of students talking and interacting in English, even if it is noisy is exactly what you want Losing control of the classroom?: walking around and monitoring the students or change the pace of the class and type of activity to a more controlled task 3 stages of teachingspeaking skill :Group the following activities into 3 stages of teaching speaking skill : eliciting/brainstorming, repetition, controlled roleplay, survey questionaires, information gaps, write-it-up, filling the forms, pre-teach vocab and new structures, ordering activities, questions and answers, discussion, free roleplaySuggested answers :Before speaking : eliciting/brainstorming, Qs and As, information gaps, discussion, pre-teach vocab and new structuresWhile speaking : repetition, controlled roleplay, filling the forms, ordering activitiesAfter speaking : write-it-up, survey questionaires, free roleplayOrdering the following instructions of the T’s activities in the speaking period (based on three stages – 11 NC- Unit 8 )InstructionsOrdera.

You have to provide for students of different abilities, wanting to learn different things at different speeds and in different ways. You can't easily give each student the individual attention they need. You may not have enough teaching and learning aids.TEACHING LARGE CLASSESAdvantagesMore students = more different ideas and interesting life experiences. Ss can learn to share and help each other in group work. This brings variety and speeds up the work. How can you use group work to help learning in a large class?Organise the groups to suit Ss's abilitiesmixed-ability groups same-ability groups using group leaders/monitors Monitor the groups yourself TEACHING ENGLISHSPEAKING SKILLSIN ENGLISH 11FINAL WORDSHow we can promote an increase in student interaction?Providing support Pre-teaching task languageGiving preparation timeProviding a supportive atmosphere Varying the interaction and repeating tasks Having different levels of task Providing a reason to interactHAVE A LOT OF FUNIN YOUR TEACHING !THANK YOU !
