Speaking as a language practice (accuracy) Characteristics of: Speaking as a skill (fluency) Speaking as a language practice (accuracy) Ss use any language at their command. There is a clear communicative purpose. Speech is often characterized by pauses, hesitation, paraphrase, fillers etc. Activities are motivating and interesting, they promote real language use. Ss use the language prescribed by the teacher. There may or may not be a communicative purpose. Ss receive language support. Activities may or may not be of interest to Ss.
Problems with fluency a) Inhibition/lack of confidence b) Fear of making 'mistakes' c) The feeling of having nothing to say on the subject d) Lack of appropriate language e) Lack of practice in conventions of conversational interaction
??? Precede activities with extensive stages of preparation of some of the language the teacher has anticipated students may need to use during the activity. Encourage and organise discussion of learning skills and objectives. Try to convince the learners of the value of trying to express themselves beyond their apparent linguistic limits, encouraging them to accept that 'mistakes are inevitable' in some activities in which the main focus is on oral communication. a) Inhibition/lack of confidence b) Fear of making 'mistakes' c) The feeling of having nothing to say on the subject d) Lack of appropriate language e) Lack of practice in conventions of conversational interaction

Information-gap activities Students work in pairs. Student A has a very full diary and Student B has another. They have to find a time when it is convenient for them to meet. http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/exams/speaking- exams/information-gap-activity https://en.islcollective.com/resources/search_result?Material_Typ e=CLT+%28Communicative+Language+Teaching%29+resources&typ e=Printables&searchworksheet=GO
Ranking activities Students are given a possible list of adjectives describing personality. In groups they must agree on the three most important characteristics of a friend/a teacher/a spouse and put these in order http://www.waze.net/oea/activities/5
Jigsaw activities Students work in groups of four. Each student in the group has a different section of a text. Without showing the material to each other they have to decide on the order in which the sections occurred in the original, and pool their knowledge to answer general questions about the text. https://www.jigsaw.org/#steps http://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/curr324.s html
Guessing activities Students work in small groups. Student A is given (or chooses) the name of a famous person. The other students have to discover the 'identity' of Student A by asking questions to which the answer is 'yes' or 'no‘. http://eslspeaking.org/wp- content/uploads/2015/12/Top10ESLSpeakingActivities- 1.pdf
Problem-solving activities The students work in groups. Student A is given a bizarre story and an explanation of the background. She tells the rest of the group the story. The other students ask questions to try to discover the background. https://icebreakerideas.com/problem-solving-activities/ https://www.lessonplansdigger.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Problem-Solving.pdf
Role play The class reads a text about the dangers of smoking. They then divide into groups. Some groups ('doctors') prepare arguments to persuade someone to stop smoking. The other groups ('smokers') prepare their reasons for continuing to smoke. Finally the class is reorganised into pairs, each constituting a 'smoker' and a 'doctor'. The smoker has bronchitis and the 'doctor' tries to persuade her to stop smoking. http://busyteacher.org/classroom_activities-speaking/roleplays/ http://www.eslflow.com/roleplaysdramatheatregames.html https://en.islcollective.com/resources/search_result?Tags=role+play&type =Printables
Group discussion Students work in groups with a series of statements on a topic they have read about. Together they have to try to reach a consensus on whether or not they agree with each of the statements. http://www.tesolzone.com/esl-discussions.html http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/group-discussion-skills
Project-based activities Students prepare a radio 'news' programme. They have access to newspapers and they appoint an 'editor', who is responsible for coordinating the preparation of 'stories' for broadcast. The programme is finally recorded onto tape. http://busyteacher.org/classroom_activities-vocabulary/projects/ https://en.islcollective.com/resources/search_result?Tags=Search%20free%20ESL%20resources&searchworksheet=GO&Material_Type=TBL%20(Task%20-based%20learning)%20activities&type=Printables http://www.esl-galaxy.com/dish.htm
Prepared monologues Each student is asked to prepare to talk about a hobby or personal interest for two to three minutes. They must not read from a prepared text. https://en.islcollective.com/resources/printables/worksheets_doc_docx/lets_keep_speaking_monologues_1/preintermediate-a2-test/47311 https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/7-easy-monologue-memorization-tips/
