Another suggestion is using Communication Games. There are many
communicational games, all of which aim to get students
talking as quickly and
fluently as possible. Two particular categories are worth mentioning here:
a) Information-gap Games, in which one student has to talk to a partner in
order to solve a puzzle, draw a picture (describe and draw), put things in the
right order (describe and arrange) or find similarities between pictures.
b) Television and Radio Games, which, when imported into classroom,
provide good fluency activities.
The third suggestion is to use Discussion, which range can vary from highly formal,
whole group staged events to informal small- group interactions.
Learners’ problems
According to Penny Ur (1996), the problems related to speaking skill are:
a) Inhibition:Since speaking requires some degree of real-time exposure to an
audience, learners are often inhibited about trying to say things in a foreign
language
in the classroom: worried about making mistakes,fearful of criticism or losing face,
or simply shy of the attention that their speech attracts.
b) Nothing to say:Even if they are not inhibited, students always complain that they
cannot think of anything to say: they have no reason to express themselves beyond
the guilty feeling that they should be speaking.
