TEACHING SPEAKING

B. YUNIAR DIYANTI
TRAINING ON TEACHING ENGLISH IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR ENGLISH ELEMENTARY TEACHERS OF YOGYAKARTA MUNICIPALITY 2009 FBS-UNY

WHY?
Children in our Indonesian classes have very little opportunities in using English in communication. Therefore with this limitation each of the them should have the opportunities to speak during our lesson. If the class is large, then we have to divide the class into several groups or place the students in pairs so that they can work and help each other. When it is speaking time, then its not filling in the blank activities to complete missing dialogues..

HOW?

Learning through Listening


To avoid mispronunciation With lots and lots of gesture to show what you mean Needs several repetitions In normal speed PS: make sure the teacher pronounces the words correctly
