SPEAKING
I think that Speaking is relevant when we are learning a language since it is a productive
skill it involves producing language and using all the grammar, vocabulary, phonology and the speech we have studied before in order to communicate
meanings to other people.
Speaking Subskills:
·
Making use of grammar
and functions
·
Making use of register
to speak appropriately
·
Using features of connected
speech
·
Using body language
·
Producing different text types
·
Oral
fluency---- avoid hesitation
·
Self-correction
·
Using interactive
strategies
Through this unit I learned that speaking is more than
just using grammar and vocabulary accurately in speech, we have to use
interactive strategies; speaking also involves using body language so that we can de understood by others. Is important to have interaction by making turn-taking, and if the listener does
not understand what we are saying we can make use of an interactive strategy called paraphrasing. When a
person speaks makes use of connected speech to convey meaning; it
involves intonation, word and sentences stress, accurate individual sounds, linking and contractions to help to convey
meaning. When we speak we use a degree of formality of informality.
As speaking is a complex activity, in my future life as a teacher I will use into the classroom different activities to encourage students to speak. The controlled
activities and the drills are good to practice speaking. It could be good to
let students to choose the topic they would like to talk to, so that they can
develop it in a better explaining fluently
the things.
