Types of Spoken Language L&S

There are two main types of spoken language: monologues and dialogues. Monologues are planned speeches or stories while dialogues involve interaction between two or more people. Classroom speaking can include imitating, responding, having transactions or interpersonal discussions, or giving extensive monologues. Good oral communication involves skills like pronunciation, fluency, using proper grammar, expressing meaning in different forms, using appropriate functions and conventions, and employing strategies. When designing speaking techniques, teachers should use a variety of intrinsically motivating techniques, encourage authentic language use, provide feedback, integrate speaking and listening, and give opportunities for developing strategies.
