According to Hornby (1995, p.20), speaking is about something to talk, say something about
something, to mention something, to have a conversation with somebody, to address somebody in
words, to say something, or express oneself in a particular language.
 Hornby, A.S. 1995. Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary. New York:
Oxford University Press
Thornbury (2005, p.121) states that speaking is an activity in real life carried out by a speaker to carry
out his/ her ideas to interact with listeners. The activities are unplanned, and their continuity is based
on situations. Speaking is a collaboration between two or more persons in the shared time and
context to communicate opinions, information, or emotions.
