Teaching English Skills | Types of Classroom Speaking Performance

This type of speaking allows students to listen and repeat different strings of language that may have some linguistic difficulty.

This type of speaking consists of having students practice discrete items of grammar and phonology.

"Responsive speaking" consists of short replies which do not extend into dialogues.

[blank_start]Transactional[blank_end] speaking, carried out for the purpose of conveying or exchanging specific information, is an extended form of responsive language. Conversationsk for example, may have more of a negotiative nature to them than does responsive speech.

[blank_start]Interpersonal[blank_end] speaking is the type of speaking through which people maintain [blank_start]social relationships[blank_end]. People use casual language, slang, emotionally charged language and sarcasm.

With "[blank_start]extensive[blank_end] speaking" students at intermediate to advanced levels are called on to tive extended monologues in the form of oral reports, summaries, or perhaps short speeched. Here the register is more formal and deliberative. These monologues can be planned or impromptu.
