Classroom activities to teach speaking skills

Approaches to develop oral communication skill:

> Learning language as a skill in the class.

> Developing spoken skill through exposure and use.

Classroom activities:

• Surveys and Interviews.- In the simplest form of a classroom survey practice the teacher hands out ready-made questions—maybe 3 for each student—around a topic that is being studied.

• Discuss and Debate.- More mature students can discuss and debate issues with a partner. They can even be told which side of the argument they should each try to promote interaction.

•  Running Dictation.- This useful activity requires students to use all four language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and if carefully planned and well-controlled can cause both great excitement and exceptional learning.

• Short Talks.- Create a stack of topic cards for your students, so that each student will have their own card. With a topic to try to express their opinion or described some situations. 

• Dialogues and Role Plays.- A great way to introduce or review these words is to practice them in dialogues accompanied by pictures.

• Describe My Part of the Classroom.- Have students in groups separate into different parts of the room.
