Introduction
- There are a number of factors that can influence the development of speaking
skills in young learners. These include:
Teachers play a key role in developing speaking skills in young learners. They can
provide learners with opportunities to practice speaking, they can model good

Developing speaking skills in young learners is an important investment in their
future. By providing learners with the opportunities and support they need, teachers
can help them to develop the skills they need to be successful communicators in
English. In the following sections of this introduction, we will discuss the importance
of developing speaking skills in young learners in more detail. We will also discuss
some of the challenges that young learners face when developing speaking skills,
and some of the strategies that teachers can use to help learners overcome these
challenges.around them.
I. Benefits of speaking skills for young learners
Speaking skills have a number of benefits for young learners. These include:
• Rubrics: Rubrics are a set of criteria that can be used to assess speaking
performance. For example, a rubric for assessing speaking performance
might include criteria such as fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, and
vocabulary use.
• Checklists: Checklists can be used to track learners' progress on specific
speaking skills. For example, a checklist for tracking learners' progress on
fluency might include items such as "speaks without hesitation" and "uses a
variety of sentence structures."
• Observation: Observation can be used to assess learners' overall speaking
performance. For example, teachers can observe learners during class
discussions and presentations to get a sense of their speaking skills.
In addition to the activities and assessment methods mentioned above, here are
some other tips for developing speaking skills in young learners:
Model good speaking skills. Learners learn by observing the people around them.
Teachers can model good speaking skills by using clear and concise language, and
by speaking at a natural pace.
Provide feedback. Feedback can help learners to identify areas where they need
to improve their speaking skills. Teachers can provide feedback by listening to
learners' speaking, and by offering them suggestions on how to improve their
fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, and vocabulary use.
In addition to the tips mentioned above, here are some other things that
teachers can do to help young learners develop their speaking skills:
Make speaking fun and engaging. Learners are more likely to want to speak
English if they are having fun. Teachers can make speaking fun by using games,
activities, and other engaging materials.
