a building process that occurs over time as students make connections to other words, learn examples and non-examples of the word and related words, and use the words accurately within the context of the sentence (Snow, Griffin, & Burns, 2005).Oral skillsAccording to Gumperz (1999), speaking is cooperatively constructed which is based on contributions, assumptions, expectations, and interpretations of the participants utterances (p. 101). Since it is cooperative, it becomes a negotiated, self-regulated process (Nunan, 1999, p. 226; Sayer, 2005, p. 17) that is segmentally created through short, frequent turns consisting of phrases and clauses (Thornbury and Slade, 2006, p. 13).
