UNIT 5 SPEAKING MORE FREELY

This unit tries to look at how the teacher can help to the children to continue speaking the L2 for a long time.

The first point is called “Cognitive development and language learning”.

If you can help to children, you can use some words in the mother tongue. So the children will understand things better.

It is very important the repetition, the pronunciation and the intonation.

The second point is “Starting to speak freely-eliciting personal talk”

At first the children speak about themselves, because they like speaking about their likes, hobbies, sports, families…

The context in the interaction when the children will speak in class should be clear and simple.

The questions should be easier and the answers should be shorts.

The third point is “Speaking games”. In this point the teacher should encourage to the children when they are playing so while they are speaking English. As well they will speak English in a more natural way.

In the games we can use music, because it is more enjoyable to the children.

The last point is called “Children speaking in groups”. We have to support to the children to speak more in English and they lose the shame to speak in front of peers. The context of public speaking should be quiet and formidable.

The children can speak in pairs because it is more useful for them.
