What Is "Teaching Speaking"?

Produce the English speech sounds and sound patterns

Use word and sentence stress, intonation patterns

and the rhythm of the second language. Select appropriate words and sentences according to the

proper social setting, audience, situation and subject

matter.

Organize their thoughts in a meaningful and logical

sequence. Use language as a means of expressing values and

judgments.

Use the language quickly and confidently with few

unnatural pauses, which is called as fluency. (Nunan,

2003)

(Kayi, 2006)

Stress Stress means more energy to a syllable.

Putting the accent on the correct syllable

gives an important element ofcomprehensibility.

One useful way of representing word stress forlearners is to mark a circle for each syllable,small for unstressed and large for stressed

syllables.o o o O o o o o O o

Stress-timed quality The amount of time it takes to say a sentence

depends on the number of syllables that receivestress in the sentence - not the total number ofsyllables. Look at the example. Notice how eachsentence takes approximately the same time to

say:

HORSES EAT GRASS.The HORSES EAT GRASS.The HORSES EAT the GRASS.

The HORSES will EAT the GRASS.The HORSES will have EATen the GRASS.The HORSES might have been EATing the GRASS.(Cohen, 2000)

intonation?

Content and function words

Content words carry the basic meaningof the sentence, while function wordsmostly serve grammatical purposes.

Content words usually receive more stress,while function words are unstressed, unlessthe speaker is giving them specialemphasis for some reason.

English uses timing and rhythm to bringout the essential parts of the sentencethe content words. This is sentence stress.
