2.2.4 Technique for Teaching Speaking

There are many ways in teaching speaking. For getting good students‘ speaking ability, teachers are allowed to implement some techniques in speaking classroom. They are some techniques to teach speaking according to Chang Feng Hem and Chen Shin Jin as quoted by Sofiatun; 1 Retelling activities, it means that, the students read a story two or three times before asking them to retell it, 2 Using dialogue, the students are required to fill in the blank space from the dialogue, 3 Role- play, the teacher has devised a ―correspondent‘s interview‖, a kind of role- play dramatization, in which one student acts as a correspondent and another as a designed character, 4 Description, the students describe the person or thing assigned of them. Their description should be sufficiently informative for their classmate to be able to identify the person or thing, and 5 Discussion, to begin with, presents a few simple problem solving topics to the students and then ask them to give opinion about it. Different from Hein and Jin, Bailey has some approaches that have been used over years to teach languages. First, the Grammar-Translation Method. Students are taught to analyze grammar and to translate from one language to another. The characteristics are: 1 it focuses on reading and writing; 2 the vocabulary is determined by the reading texts; 3 the sentence is the basic unit of teaching and language practice; 4 the primary emphasis is on accuracy; 5 teaching is deductive; 6 the medium of instruction is typically the students‘ native language. Second, the direct method focused on vocabulary and sentence and the lesson were conducted entirely in the target language, the language the students are trying to learn. Both the teacher and the students are active in this method. The direct method strongly influenced the development of the audio- lingual method. In audio lingualism, speaking is taught by having students repeat sentences and recite memorized dialogues from the textbook. The last is Communicative Language Teaching. The students learned language by interacting, and then they should interact during English lesson.
