IV. CONCLUSION.
To
conclude, in the present course paper there has been made an
attempt to analyze peculiarities of teaching speaking methods in the light
of foreign language acquisition and English teaching methodology.
On the basis of the material collected the following
conclusions may be
inferred:
– Speaking is one of the key language skills that pupils should acquire in the
process of learning a foreign language. Moreover,
it is not only the goal of
education but also a means of learning a foreign language as while speaking pupils
review
sounds and letters, vocabulary and grammar, memorize the spelling of
words, the meaning of words and word combinations i. e. they polish th eir foreign
language knowledge about the topic 'transportation ' .
– Speaking skills are the cognitive processes that a learner uses in making
sense of vocabulary and speech. To become a proficient speaker language learners
should be master of vocabularies and word recognition and the ability to sp eak
orally.
– To make teaching speaking effective it is advisable to focus on one skill at
a time, explain the purpose of given tasks, establish connection with the previously
acquired
knowledge and skills, make usage of visual and audio aids,
discuss
problematic issues etc. Teachers should also keep in mind that speaking is not a
passive skill, make pupils engaged with what they are speaking, encouraged them
to respond to the skills, questions not just to the language, to make sure that tasks
correspond to the topic and level of the pupils etc.
– The procedure of introducing new vocabulary to pupils may take the
following route: step 1: word introduction → step 2: pupil-friendly explanation →
step 3: illustrative examples → step 4: checking understanding.
– Teachers should be very reasonable and careful with error correction and
choose the most suitable for the case as it may psychologically influence learners.
The correction may be made by the teacher or another
pupil during or after
speaking.

All the things considered, speaking is a language activity and ought not to be
divorced from other language activities. To speak fluently in English second -
language pupils need to learn to think in English. The methods of any teaching
speaking lesson should be chosen according to the learner’s
level of skill
development. Teaching speaking is a job for an expert who has to create conditions
whereby learners can learn and develop their speaking skills.
The research is only a modest contribution to the issue of teaching sp eaking
methodology and thus further investigation into the sphere is highly recommended.
