Teaching Speaking
Year: 2020
Type: reference-entry
Abstract: What should teachers do to facilitate students' learning to speak a second language? This entry introduces speaking as a skill under time pressure; it describes how scholars have defined the speaking ability and looks at what knowledge and skills they deem necessary for successful speaking. It goes on to present what researchers have said about teaching these types of knowledge and skills. The entry concludes by situating the methods of teaching speaking in influential models of second language acquisition, which reflect the two complementary perspectives of “speaking to learn” and “learning to speak.”
