Reflection of TSL-506 (Teaching Speaking Using Teachnology)

in SLA(second language acquisition) the role speaking is undeniable & this is why we have to give focus on speaking which helps learners to listen as well. Speaking is related with thinking of message, negotiate meaning,produce comprehensible output,hypothesizing etc.

Oral interaction can be two types such as informative and interactive. informative oral interaction are like routines, scripts which can be put in formal situations. on the other hand interactive oral interactions are like dialouge exchange with goes under informal situations. in these case we can use techonlogy by using drilling sessions as well as watching movie sessions.

It is also important to focus on the pronunciation of the learners. there are many approaches to teach pronunciations. these are
1) Intuitive -imitative approach:
In this case learners listen & repeat where there is no interactions. by using audio materials this can be done which helps learners to develop their listening as well as spaeking skills.
2) Analytic -linguistic approach:
In this case learners can learn explicit,structural speech by using different chart speech and phonetic alphabet.
3) Current integrative approach:
In this case pronunciation is not taught separately where it gives more focus on super segmental of stress such as stress, rising tone etc rather than sound of letter.
