Technology to Teach Speaking


Nowadays speaking is need for having communication, do not care about the form as far as each of you understand what you are talking about its okay. Actually the main focus of speaking is about the fluency not the accuracy.  Speaking is about the speaker’s ability to take in message, negotiate meaning and produce comprehensible output. If you are talking with native speaker, they do not focus on the form. They just will ask you for the clarifying about what are talking about. Those help you to speak up. On the other hand when non native speaker get feedback about that message from their interlocutor they will revise the speech to clarify their meaning. So it all does to make the communication happen and the message is delivering.
As 21th century teacher candidate, we ask to use technology to teach our students about speaking. As we know that there is many software or website that provides speaking skill. You can let them visit englishclub.com, englishbaby.com or let them to have a chat with their friends or even with the teachers. By using social network like Yahoo Messenger or Skype, you can conduct an interesting learning process. You also can have software, my English tutor to engage them in speaking. Teaching speaking means you teach your students about intelligibility, speech monitoring ability and the important thing is you ask them to do communication and try to increase their self confident. Just give them opportunity to tell their opinion by speaking.
