Unit 8 Speaking
In unit 8, I learnt about Speaking. Speaking is a productive skill. It
involves speech to communicate meanings to other people. When we speak we use
intonation, word and structure stress, accurate, individual sounds, linking and
contractions in
order to convey meaning. However, we have to be carefully with the stress and hesitations because if we
do not use it correctly people can misunderstand our ideas. There are some features that we have to
take into account at the moment to speak. For instance, use the correct
language. It means use formal
or informal language
according to people who are you talking to. Moreover, your speech has to have accuracy, appropriacy, fluency because it shows
a successful oral communication. In order to apply this knowledge with my pupils,
I will use short dialogues, conversations and role plays. These activities will
help them to improve their speaking, but before I will talk about some aspects
that are really necessary to have at the moment to speak like the correct use
of intonation, stress, accuracy, appropriacy, and sometimes they have to use gestures, eye contact,
and facial expressions
in order to covey meaning successfully.
