Speaking Skill
Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information (Brown, 1994) It is a productive skill because speaker is the one who give information or sender. The receptive skill is reading and listening.
Teaching speaking mean helping students to understand voice, vocabulary, grammar, or linguistic competence. Speaking lessons can follow the usual pattern of preparation, presentation, practice. The teacher can use the "preparation" step to establish a context for the speaking task. In "presentation", the teacher can provide learners with a preproduction model that furthers learner comprehension and helps them become more attentive observers of language use. "Practice" involves learners in reproducing the targeted structure. (Brown, 1994; Burns & Joyce, 1997; Carter & McCarthy, 1995).
Speaking is key to communication. By considering what good speakers do, what speaking tasks can be used in class, and what specific needs learners report, teachers can help learners improve their speaking and overall oral competency.
