Speaking Skills

 

Language is “species specific” and is a special gift of God to mankind without language civilization would remain impossible. It is present everywhere in our thought, dream, talking, thinking analyzing and in our discourses and it is also a powerful source of communication. There are four basic components of language these are speaking, writing, listening and Reading .Speaking skill is the ability of an individual to express and to communicate what he or she wants to (Chaney, 1998, p. 13)says about speaking as :-

“The process of building and sharing meaning through the Use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts”

  Many people who learn English as a foreign language (EFL) are especially interested in learning English for conversation while traveling or for use in business, as it is considered as an international language for communication that’s why students are trying to improve speaking so that they can use it when required and it also helps EFL learners attain greater levels of fluency.  EFL learners’ reluctance to speak English in the classroom is a problem commonly found in EFL contexts. Consequently, students have fewer opportunities to learn from speaking than the more oral students. Research shows that they develop more negative attitudes to school and are likely to lack motivation to put more effort in it (McCroskey & Richmond, 1991). For students who are reluctant to maintain and extend conversations also limits their opportunities for language use.
