In the flourishing days of communication era, an important need for human beings ,as key elements of each community, has been raised.The need to communicate with others has got such a priority that satisfying it would prepare the ground for satisfying other necessities ,such as working to make a living.The need to communicate has itself some requirements.In addition to having enough knowledge, the way to communicate still plays a crucial role.Listening, speaking, reading ,and writing as four basic skills of language, each plays a significant role in order to meet this need.Among these four elements,speaking has got a kind of conspicuous value by nature. Many scholars have paid considerable attention regarding the importance of this …show more content…
Different approaches have taken different methods and techniques to teach and improve teaching speaking, such as drilling in Audiolingual method, memorizing lists of lexical items in Grammar Translation method, or methods proposed by instructors based on their experience like role-play, picture and word cues, paper conversation, using exercises to boost learners’ self-confidence, doing theatres, reading a story and retelling it to others and so on. A brief overview of the history of approaches and methodologies in teaching English shows that” being a fluent speaker was a goal in some approaches such as the Silent Way in which near- native fluency in the target language, and correct pronunciation and mastery of prosodic elements of the Target Language are emphasized”( Richards and Rodgers 2003, p.83).In Community language learning , the learners were to repeat the target utterances without hesitation ,to support the members of the community, and become counsellor of other
Communication is one of the main things humans do in their day to day activities. Scholars define communication as an act of exchanging information between one another and understanding the meaning of it (Semenescu, 2016). The four mains types of communication are written, verbal, non-verbal and visual. Humans communicate to establish relationship, build foundation for planning, socializing in general and motivating each other. Communication can vary in different settings. For example in personal context, communication style used is more relaxed, which means that informal language is used. However, in a professional context, communication style used in more focused on workplace. Therefore, the language used is more formal so as to show respect
Speech, language and communication play a vital role in our lives. Without being able to talk to, and understand other people we can’t do things alike: Almost everything we do involves speech, language and or communication
To address Luisa’s speaking in academic and social contexts, the English class must provide Luisa with consistent opportunities to hear English being spoken fluently. To promote fluent speaking in a second language, interaction is also key to learning. During the time when the ELL student is unable or limited in producing language, the instructor must create an environment where the ELL is able to build receptive language through repetition, gestures, and choral reading. One strategy to assist in developing the speaking component for Luisa is Scripting. Scripting is a strategy that prepares the ELL with sample language interactions or situational dialogues appropriate for upcoming events. These dialogues are known as scripts and they are presented and practiced with the ELL prior to the student encountering the situation in which the script will be used. The use of Scripting will complement the English class structure and the nature of the academic content as the class inherently focus on the productive and receptive language skills. As students encounter literature and poetry, the teacher can easily model fluent English during
As a volunteer for the Charles H Hulse literacy program, we were asked to teach English language learners from grades 4 to 6 how to transfer their new language skills into public speaking. Initially this was a difficult task as students struggled to adapt their writing skills into speaking skills. Explaining how to speak in an engaging, confident manner is a challenge even for native speakers; the task can be especially difficult for an English language learner.
Communication plays a major part in our everyday life, if we did not communicate with each other we could not learn, develop relationships or even progress and it is very important to make sure that the best provision is created for all. Different methods can be used as a way of communicating but the way we express it can have
Although this method began to lose its popularity in the late 1960s, Audiolingual method and materials continue to be used today. The Audiolingual method was adopted for teaching foreign languages in North American colleges. Dialogues and drills form the basis of audiolingual classroom practices. Dialogues provide the means of contexualizing key structures. Correct pronunciation, rhythm, intonation and stress are emphasized. The language may be presented orally first; written representations are withheld from learners in early stages. Drills and pattern practices are features of the Audiolingual Method. Below there are some common characteristics of different drills: (Brooks, 1964; Richards & Rodgers, 1999).
This semester I have learned many aids for improve my public speech, and also speech analysis. I have learned communication process, speech process, and how to be a good speaker. I have learned. the communication helps us to improve our relationships, confidence and our perception. So, I have learned that is not possible live as a community without any type of communication. Communication is a message that a need a sender and a receiver, where someone is give the stimulus to the other and the receiver will receive the message and give a feedback.Communication is divided in verbal and nonverbal, and the culture also can change the types of communication. Verbal communication need words, , and nonverbal is an example of a communication through
It's highly unlikely, regardless of how good you are as a key account manager, that you will never face the prospect of an unhappy customer in one of your key accounts. Issues happen. There are always aspects that are out of your personal control, so being prepared to deal with one of your key customer's unhappiness ahead of time is well advised. In the heat of the moment is not when you want to strategically try to come up with a plan to diffuse your customer as quickly as possible.
The four suggestion for becoming a better listener are listening for pleasure, listening to empathize, listening to evaluate, and listening for information. Listening for pleasure is important in many ways. When a person is listening for pleasure he/she record more information than others who listen without an interest. For example, when a new song just comes out, one who listen to the song for pleasure take only a few days to know the song while it might take others who don’t like the song a week or two. Listening to evaluate and for information is also essential because put in mind the information is valuable and also important will help one to memorize the information in a better way, such as recording a date. No woman will ever forget
As English has come to be known as the global language, it has moved toward paramount over the past decades. The majority of uses of English occur in contexts as a “lingua franca”, that is the language of heterogeneous linguistic communities whenever they wish to be mutually intelligible to speakers of other languages. Language is the unique characteristic of human so that it distinguishes human beings from other animal species. From four well-known language skills i.e. reading, writing, listening, and speaking, Rivers(1981)argues that speaking is the most frequently skill, that is used twice as much as reading and writing in our communication.As it is the means through which we express our opinionsthinking process, intentions and viewpoints. Speaking and writing usually have been considered as productive skills in comparison with listening and reading and it has been classified into two major groups: Monologue and Dialogue, that according to Nunan(1989)the dialogue focuses on the interaction with other speakers, in contrast, monologue refers to uninterrupted oral presentation. Moreover, according to the previous classification, speaking serves one of the two functions: transactional (transfer of information) and interactional (maintenance of social relationships) (Brown & Yule, 1983). As Nunan (1999) and Burkart and Sheppard (2004) argue,
Learning a language entirely requires to have a command on all the skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) of that language by taking knowledge domains (grammar and vocabulary) into account. Speaking which is one of these skills involves comprehension as well as production (Hughes, 2003, p. 113). Namely, having knowledge of all the grammar subjects and having wide-ranging vocabulary knowledge do not mean anything if you do not use all of these accumulated knowledge in a performance stage. We as students need to practice and produce and then we are needed to be assessed in order to improve our speaking skill, realize our strengths and weaknesses and see our level of proficiency in speaking in the target language. In this FLE 138 Oral
Communication is one of the most important and valuable skills we have developed as human beings. It is the basis for how we connect with each other globally and shape the people we are today. Without effective communication, we would not be able to build productive relationships, express our cultural values, or most importantly, voice our thoughts. As we grow, we learn and develop our unique form of communication. Whether we are strong public speakers or prefer an interpersonal approach, it is important to find what type of communication is best suited for us, so we can appropriately and effectively use communication to our advantage. There are several different aspects that make us effective communicators, and knowing our strengths and weaknesses in theses categories will give us a comparative advantage on how to properly communicate on an interpersonal level. In this paper, I will discover the type of communicator I am, what I am good at, and what I can work on, to become an excellent interpersonal communicator.
While applying an audio-visual approach, pronunciation is stressed, lessons with dialogues are utilized, and mimicry and memorization are used. In a cognitive approach the instruction is often individualized, so students are responsible for their own learning. While using a communicative approach, the goal of language teaching is learner ability to communicate in the target language (Celce-Murcia, 2001). These approaches integrated in software programs support new learning skills more effectively than classical methods for language learning. Beatty (2003) states that the application of CALL might be helpful for learners in improving their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, as well as encouraging autonomy in learning, and for teachers in improving their teaching skills since it can be integrated into research and

The goal of this method is to help the students to be able to communicate in the target language. In order to achieve this purpose, the Audio-Lingual Method contains the following characteristics. Firstly, contextualized dialogs are utilized to present new vocabulary and structures in class. Secondly, the conversations are learned through drills which are considered as an integral part of the Audio-Lingual Method. In my own teaching, backward build-up drill, repetition drill and substitution drill contribute importantly the success of students’ learning. Next, grammar rules are induced from examples. By this approach, students personalize and use the grammatical points naturally like the way they acquire the native language. Based on above features, it is believed that the Audio-Lingual Method has a part in the communicative development of students in the target language.
