Provide intrinsically motivating techniques Teacher should instil learning interest among the students and helps the

students to see how the activity conducted will benefit them

Encourage the uses of authentic language in meaningful contexts Teacher should be creative in devising authentic contexts and meaningful interaction in the class Focus on fluency and accuracy based on the learning objective Teacher must ensure that the task or activity prepared have a linguistic objective and help students to maximize the language usage in the classroom

Capitalize on the natural link between speaking and listeningMany interactive techniques involve speaking will also involve listening. Teacher should integrate both skills as the two skills can reinforce each other

Principles For Teaching Speaking Skills

Give students opportunities to initiate oral communication Teacher should allowed students to initiate language in the class by having interactive activities and give them the chance to initiate conversation, ask questions, to control conversations and to change the subject

Provide appropriate feedback and correction It is important for a teacher to use their knowledge to made corrective feedback to the students. An appropriate feedback can helps the students to know their strength and weakness in the language

Encourage the development of speaking strategies Students should be aware and have the chance to practice the speaking strategies such as asking for clarification, using fillers, getting attention, using formulaic expressions and many more

Oral Communication Skills in Pedagogical Research A review of some current issues in teaching oral communication
Questions about intelligibility -Intelligibility should be gauged by whether non native speaker are intelligible to native speaker. -Premise has evolved into more complex questions. -Most of materials, technology and teacher education programs are being challenged to grapple with the issue of intelligibility Conversational discourse -The benchmark of successful language acquisition is always the demonstration of ability to accomplish pragmatic goals through interactive discourse with other speakers. -The goals and the techniques for teaching conversation are diverse depending on the students and the class. Teaching pronunciation -Majority of adult learners will never acquire an accent-free command of a foreign language. -A language program should emphasize whole language, meaningful contexts, and automaticity of production focus on phonological details of language

The interaction effect -Learner faced difficulties in attempts to speak not because of the multiplicity of sound but the interactive nature of communication. -Learners performance is based on the person they talk with. The growth of spoken corpora As the scope of corpora expand, our understanding of what people say is informed by empirical evidence.

Accuracy and fluency -The question faced by the teacher: how to prioritize the accurate language and fluent language? -Fluency and accuracy are important in language learning. -Initial goal of communicative language teaching is fluency while accuracy is achieved by focussing on grammar, phonology and discourse in spoken output.

Genres of spoken language Research on spoken language has recently attended to a specification of differences among genres of oral interaction and how to teach those variations. As the research describes the constraints of such genres, teacher should be able to pinpoint models of appropriateness for students specific purpose in learning English

Affective factor Learners are afraid to speak as they want to avoid doing some errors in speaking and blurting things out that are wrong or incomprehensible. Learners are reluctant to be judged by the listener, thus they think it is better to keep your mouth closed.
