Speaking is a productive skill, which involves using
speech to communicate meanings to other people. When we speak we pronounce
words, answer questions, use intonation, ask for clarification or explanation when
something is not clear, we use appropriate register, we use word and sentence
stress, we use facial expressions to let people understand what we want to say or
maybe we can paraphrase it. Beside, speaking involves several subskills like the use of the grammar, vocabulary, and functions. These factors help to use the register appropriately.
Features such as connected speech, use body language, producing different text types, oral fluency, and self-correction are involved for only one reason to communicate meaning. Teacher should use speaking activities in classroom because it helps students to develop the speaking skill but we can focus on particular aspects of speaking, e.g fluency, pronunciation, register, grammatical accuracy, body language, etc. The best way to do it is thought controlled practice activities (Gakonga) , we can use drills,
and we can organize activities to work in small teams to do vocab games. Speaking
activities (link) often follow the
same pattern: Lead-in, practice activities, and post-task activities.

when students are in advanced levels it is necessary to let them speak freely. In that way they are going to focus on fluency rather than accuracy,but controlled practiced is useful as you mentioned Anita
ResponderBorrarI agree with you because speaking is a way to communicate and it is also important to have some tips such us; body movements, facial expressions, and in some cases paraphrasing in order to make learners understand.
ResponderBorrarI also agree with you girls and in addition i think it could be a good idea if teachers let students to choose the topics the want to talk about, becuase then it will be easier for them to speak.
