    Speaking is defined as conveying information or expressing thoughts and feelings through spoken language. While speaking one's native language is easy, many students find speaking a second language to be one of the most difficult skills to learn. The ability to speak English is also the main motivation for most students to study English in the first place. Speaking effectively requires not only correct pronunciation but also the ability to use conversational strategies appropriately depending on the situation.

    MODULE 3 PART 1: TEACHING SPEAKING – AN OVERVIEW

    1.0. WHAT IS SPEAKING?


    Speaking is defined as the ‘action of conveying information or expressing one’s
    thoughts and feelings in spoken language’ (dictionary.com). It is interesting to note
    that virtually no-one finds speaking difficult in their native language, yet many
    students find it one of the most difficult of the skills to learn in L2. It is also the main
    motivation for most students to want to study English in the first place – to be able
    to speak to other English speakers.

    Speaking is more than just being able to produce sounds correctly or use
    appropriate stress and intonation patterns. Students will also have to learn to be
    able to use a range of conversational strategies, to be able to communicate in the
    different situations they may find themselves in.
