This presentation, Teaching Speaking Skills in Language Learning, explores effective strategies, techniques, and resources to enhance oral communication skills. It emphasizes the importance of speaking as a core skill in social, academic, and professional contexts, highlighting its role in building confidence and fluency.

Key components include best practices like role-playing, group discussions, and authentic real-world contexts, supported by resources such as ESL Conversation Starters, Breaking News English, and FluentU. The presentation draws on expert insights (Harmer, 2007; Usó-Juan & Martínez-Flor, 2006; Field, 2008) to provide practical tools for pronunciation, vocabulary building, and conversational abilities, making speaking skills relevant and achievable for language learners.

The unit spans one week, comprising four sessions of 1.5 hours each, aiming to gradually build skills and confidence. Objectives include mastering vocabulary and grammar related to nationalities and professions, summarizing texts about diverse cultures, writing coherent descriptions, and presenting personal information orally. Learning outcomes align with these objectives, emphasizing effective communication and cultural awareness.

Formative assessments, such as vocabulary exercises, comprehension checks, and self-assessment activities, ensure progress monitoring. Students also prepare for summative assessments through role-plays and group activities. The teaching approach is communicative, with scaffolding techniques to transition from guided practice to independent use. Key resources include adapted reading materials, authentic audio recordings, visual aids, and digital tools like Newsela. The lessons cater to students’ need for a strong foundation in vocabulary, grammar, and communicative practice to build confidence in real-world interactions.
