is one of the most important skills for students in learning English. It implies
exchanging opinions, information, notions of social, cultural and political aspects of

various spheres. Therefore, speaking is a crucial part of foreign language learning
and teaching. Despite its importance, for many years, teaching speaking has been
undervalued and English language teachers have continued to teach speaking just as
a repetition of drills or memorization of dialogues. At language lessons, the only
means of communication have traditionally been textbooks and the lecturing teacher
who has been the source of information. Hence, this communication is under control
rather than free.
However, today's world requires that the goal of teaching speaking should
improve students' communicative skills, because, only in that way, students can
express themselves and learn how to follow the social and cultural rules appropriate
in each communicative circumstance. In this case, the purpose of the teacher is to
transform the communication with students to a pleasant, attractive and emotional
lesson. Real communication is always informative, unpredictable, and unexpected.

English nowadays. The communicative approach has been applied in many countries
in the world. This has brought positive effects on teaching English.
