 Speaking is one of the core competencies to be developed in foreign language classes and the second most-widely used skill in everyday-life communication. If students are to be prepared for the ‘real’ world to successfully perform on the international stage, they must demonstrate highly functional communicative foreign language proficiency levels.
-But, first, there usually not enough opportunities to speak: the average primary school student engages in roughly one minute of speaking English per lesson. Second, not all primary school teachers encourage their students to speak the second/foreign language (L2) frequently, or they use their first/local language (L1) as their language of instruction. Third, teachers often use similar question-answer patterns which do not allow learners to use English beyond the one-sentence-level and to acquire a broad range of speaking functions. Fourth, teachers do not necessarily teach speaking skills.
