Are listening and speaking skills related to each other?Example: conversation
In classroom there is interaction between listening and speaking
Example: lectures, speeches, etc.Activation limbic system in speaking
1 .Talk shows
2 .Film shows
3 .Watching movies
4 .Listening to news
5 .Choosing specific topic etc.

Oral communication skills in pedagogical research
1. Conversational discourse
Do you speak English?
2. Teaching pronunciation
3. Accuracy and fluency
How can we organize the speaker goals of accurate and fluent language?
Example: Playing tennis
Message oriented (teaching language use)
Language oriented (teaching language usage) supporting role
![Page 5: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
4. Affective factors
Anxiety afraid of speaking reactions of hearers you are what you speak (Language ego)learners are judged by hearers Teacher’s job
5. The interaction effect
What to say? Or How to say? Or When to speak?
David Nunan Interlocutor effect (leaners’s performance
related to the person he/she is talking with)
Interlocutor: a person who is having conversation with others
Example: For responding to a comment there are lots of possible sentences
![Page 6: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of spoken language
Intermediate levels students use conversation (dialogue)
Later, they can have both interpersonal and transactional dialogue
![Page 7: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Characteristics which make speaking difficult
1 .Clustering grouping of number of similar words
2 .Redundancy words, phrase that repeats something which is unnecessary
3 .Reduced forms contractions, elision, reduce vowel
4 .Performance variables process of thinking thinking time in English is not silent use fillers uh, um, well, you know, I mean, like It shows the difference between
native and nonnative speakers
![Page 8: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
5 .Colloquial Language using informal styles learners are familiar with informal words idioms and phrases
6 .Rate of delivery learners should have acceptable speed
7 .Stress, rhythm and intonation different messages Example: You kill the man.
8 .Interaction if there is no interlocutor learners lost their creativity in conversation
![Page 9: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Microskills of oral communication
The Focus is on both Forms and Functions of Language
Example: Picture and its small parts
Microskills
1. Produce chunks of language of different lengths
2. Orally produce differences among the English phonemes and allophonic variants.
3. Produce English stress patterns, words in stressed and unstressed positions, rhythmic structure, and intonational contours.
4. Produce reduced forms of words and phrases.
5. Use an adequate number of lexical units (words) in order to accomplish pragmatic purposes.
6. Produce fluent speech at different rates of delivery
7. Monitor your own oral production and use various strategic devices-pauses, fillers, self-corrections, backtracking- to enhance the clarity of the message.
8. Use grammatical word classes (nouns, verbs, etc.), systems (e.g., tense, agreement, pluralization), word order, patterns, rules, and elliptical forms.
9. Produce speech in natural constituents-in appropriate phrases, pause groups, breath groups, and sentences.
10. Express a particular meaning in different grammatical forms
![Page 10: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
11. Use cohesive devices in spoken discourse
12. Accomplish appropriately communicative functions according to situations, participants, and goals
13. Use appropriate registers, implicature, pragmatic conventions, and other sociolinguistic features in face-to-face conventions.
14. Convey links and connections between events and communicate such relations as main idea, supporting idea, new information, given information, generalization, and exemplification.
15. Use facial features, kinesics, body language, and other nonverbal cues along with verbal language to convey meanings.
16. Develop and use a battery of speaking strategies, such as emphasizing key words, rephrasing, providing a context for interpreting the meaning of words, appealing for help, and accurately assessing how well your interlocutor is understanding you.
![Page 11: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Types of classroom speaking performance
1 .Imitative: human tape recorder The focus is on element of language form It is very limited portion of classroom speaking time
Example: When learners practice an intonation contour or try to understand vowel sound
Is drilling part of the communicative language classroom? focus on one element of lg offer limited practice through repetition
Guidelines for successful drill:Keep them short
Keep them simple
Keep them snappy
Make sure students know why they are going the drill
Limit them to phonology or grammar points
Make sure they ultimately lead to communicative goals
Don’t overuse them
![Page 12: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2 .Intensive: Speaking performance t0 practice phonological or grammatical aspect of language It can be self-initiated or pair work activity
3 .Responsive: Short replies to teacher or student initiated questions
Example: T: How are you today?
S: Pretty good, and you?
S1: Did you do your homework last night?
S2: No, I was busy.
![Page 13: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4 .Transactional (dialogue) Exchanging some information
T: What is the main idea in this essay? S: The United Nation should have more authority .
T: More authority than what ? S: Than it does right now
T: What do you mean? S: Well, the UN should keep all kids safe during
wars
T: You don’t think the UN try to do it know? S: Obviously not. Lots of kids still are going to be
death.

For example:
Rick: So, what did you do last weekend, Meg?
Meg: Oh, I had a great time. I went to a karaoke bar and sang with some friends on Saturday.
Rick: That sounds like fun. Did you go to Lucky’s?
Meg: No, we didn’t. We went to that new place downtown. How about you? Did you go anywhere?
Rick: No, I didn’t go anywhere all weekend. I just stayed home and studied for today’s Spanish test.
Meg: Our Spanish test is today? I forget all about that!
Rick: Don’t worry. You always got an A .

5 .Interpersonal (dialogue) Social relationship rather than information
1 .A causal register
2 .Colloquial language
3 .Emotionally charged language
4 .Slang
5 .Ellipsis
6 .Sarcasm
7 .A covert “agenda”
![Page 16: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
6. Extensive (monologue): Students at intermediate to advanced levels are called to give monologues in form of oral reports, summaries, short speeches
![Page 17: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Principles for designing speaking techniques
1 .Focus on both fluency and accuracy, depending on your objectives
2 .Provide intrinsically motivating techniques
3 .Encourage the use of authentic language in meaningful contexts
4 .Provide appropriate feedbacks and correction
5 .Capitalize on the natural link between speaking and listening
6 .Give students opportunities to initiate oral communication
7 .Encourage the development of speaking strategies
Asking for clarification (What?)
Asking someone to repeat something (Huh? Excuse me?)
Using fillers (Uh, I mean, Well) in order to gain time to process
Using conversation maintenance cues (Uh-huh, Right, Yeah, Okay, Hm)
![Page 18: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Getting someone’s attention (Hey, Say, So)
Using paraphrases for structures one can’t produce
Appealing for assistance from the interlocutor (to get a word or phrase ,
for example )
Using formulaic expressions (at the survival stage) (How much does
-------- cost? How do you get to the ?--------
Using mime and nonverbal expressions to convey meaning.

Teaching Conversation
Two major approaches (Richards, 1990) indirect, direct
Direct: Involves planning a conversation
Indirect: engaging in meaningful tasks
Example of task-based instruction:
Willi’s (1996) framework
Sample tasks that illustrate teaching various aspects of conversation
![Page 20: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 25: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
E. Individual practice: using oral dialogue journals
Students express themselves orally to practice speaking, get feedback from teacher
F. Other interactive technique :
Interviews, Guessing games, Jigsaw tasks, Ranking exercises, Discussions, Values clarification, Problem solving activities, Role play, Simulations
![Page 26: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Teaching Pronunciation
Views on teaching pronunciation:
1. 1970s 1. Experience a revolution of sorts, 2. pronunciation instruction became incidental
2. 1980s 1. Attention was on grammatical structures, 2. There was balance between fluency and accuracy, 3. Pronunciation was a key to gaining full communicative competence
3. Current approaches contrasts with early approaches 1. Top-down approach is taken in which the most relevant features of pronunciation; stress, rhythm and intonation are given high priority
![Page 27: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Features of pronunciation
Factors:
1 .Native Language Most influent factor
2 .Age 1. Children has a chance to speak like a native
2 .Adults maintain a foreign accent
3 .The younger the better is myth
3 .Exposure If the class focus on pronunciation, attention and interest of leaners reaching goals
4 .Innate phonetic ability manifest a phonetic coding ability
5 .Identity and language ego importance of positive attitudes towards speakers of the lg
6 .Motivation and concern for good pronunciation concerning about the pronunciation
![Page 28: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Three techniques for teaching different aspects of English pronunciation
A. Intonation-listening for pitch changes
Adapted from Wong 1987: 61
![Page 29: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
B. Stress-contrasting Nouns
Adapted from Nolasco & Arthur 1987: 67-68
![Page 30: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
C. Meaningful minimal pairs
T: Okay, class, on the board, picture number 1 is a “pen” and picture number 2 is a “pin.”
Listen: Pen [points to number 1], pin [points to number 2] [several repetitions]. Now, I’m going to say either number 1 or number 2. You tell me which. Ready? [pause] Pin.
Ss: Number 2.
T: Good. Ready. Pin
Ss: Number 2.
T: Okay. [pause] Pen.
Ss: Number 1

A Model For Correction of Speech Errors
When and How should I correct the speech errors of learners in classroom?
Key: Feedback that learners receive from others
Affective and Cognitive feedback in Vigil and Oller’s model
![Page 32: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fossilization: Normal and natural stage for many learners
Global Errors: Message is not clear for the hearer
Example: The different city is another one in the another two
Local Errors: The hearer or reader can guess the message
There is a French window in every bedroom.
![Page 36: Teaching speaking](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050807/54541d14af7959856d8b7405/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Basic options
To treat or to ignore
To treat immediately or to delay
To transfer treatment (to say other learners) or not
To transfer to another individual a subgroup or the whole class
To return or not to the original error maker aftertreatment
To permit other learners to initiate treatment
To test for the efficiency of the treatment
