Teaching speaking.

Produce fluent speech at different rates of delivery...



What does it means? It means that it is necessary to speak, or to read something in a correct speed, no so slow and no so fast! being fluent does not means that we have to be as fast as we can... fluency in speech is related to speak in a normal way but taking into consideration the tone, rhythm, accent, intonation and stressed patterns and also use pauses when it is necessary. 



What teachers need to do is to involve the students in different situations, in which they can talk freely using their own words, for example: conversations, dialogues, role plays, and oral presentations about a theme they most like; in this way they can be more fluent and can correct and monitor themselves without worries. Besides if the activity is not evaluated it could be better because the students do not get nervous or afraid, and at the end the teacher can give them a feedback about how was his/her presentation and how they can improve it.
