SPEAKING

//__ **Speaking **

 __// **1. Give three times when students benefit from a technology-enhanced environment for the development of their speaking skills:  ** **(b)** **Technology also allows students to communicate via teleconferencing software such as CU-See Me with authentic audiences around the world and facilitates global technology-based projects that serve as incentives for this communication.** **(c)** **Technology can provide focused practice of listening skills through software programs and websites for student interaction. Several websites have recording capabilities to allow students to practice speaking.**
 * (a)  The speech that occurs as students talk to each other while working on collaborative tasks and projects or while just chatting around the computer.  **

**2. How have the different methods of L2 teaching treated the teaching of speaking?** **Various perspectives on speaking have range from total neglect of listening or speaking in the grammar translation method to extended communication in the communicative and task-based approaches.** **In today’s world with easy access to travel, globalization of business and industry, and the desire of non-native English speakers to communicate with English speaking peers, English learners of all ages and purposes value the ability to orally communicate in the second or foreign language. Speaking is viewed in the larger context of communication with the focus on the speaker’s ability to take in messages, negotiate meaning, and produce comprehensible output. This view recognizes the interactive nature of listening and the crucial role of negotiating meaning in order to produce comprehensible speech.**
 * 3. Describe the Current Views on Speaking in an L2  **

** 4. Study Table 4.1 on page 98 and give your opinion . ** **6. Describe the different types of oral interaction** **In the first category, information routines consist of both information genres such as expository (which include description, instruction, and comparison) and evaluative routines (which include explanation, justification, prediction, and decision routines). In the second category, interaction routines are viewed as either being primarily service (for example, speech used in a job interview) or social (for instance, the small talk you would engage in at a dinner party). All of the participants in these routines constantly negotiate meaning of the oral messages and manage the interactions in terms of who says what, to whom, and so on (Nunan, 1991).** __//**Speaking Activities **//__
 * I personally agree with the Communicative language teaching because speaking is a very important factor for a student to learn an L2. Some speaking methods and approaches which will help students to practice their ability of speaking are Silent Way, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task Based etc. **
