 MATERIALS
The key in developing sound
materials is ensure that they are
described and organized well
enough so that teacher can use
them with no confusion and with
minimum of preparation time.
( James D. Brown, 2007)
 What’s the Material
Development?
It is both a field of study and a practical
undertaking.
As a field: it studies the principle and
procedure of the design, implementation and
evaluation of language teaching materials.
As an undertaking : it involves production,
evaluation and adaptation of language
teaching materials.
(Tomlinson.2001:66)
 What is Speaking?

Speaking is a unique form of

communication which is the basis of all
human relationships and the primary
channel for the projection and
development of individual identity.
 What is Speaking?

Speaking is” the process of building and

sharing meaning through the use of
verbal and non- verbal symbols, in a
variety of contexts”
(Chaney, 1998, p. 13).
 Speaking skills and the need for relevant materials.
Speaking skills are best developed when learners learn to eventually take control of
their own performance from an insider perspective (e.g. from the learner), rather
than being constantly dictated by external manipulation (e.g. by the teacher.)

Second language materials, as viewed by Tomlinson ( 2010,2011), should be

created not only by writers but also by teachers and learners, in creative
process which stretches to the real classroom.

Teaching Communication should be seen a process rather than a set of

products
(Tomlinson and Nunan)
 • The learning of linguistic systems
• Structural Approach

• Witnessed a “ Communicative revolution”

• Multidimensional Syllabus

To build on a range of communicative criteria at the same time as acknowledging the need to
provide systematic practice in the formal properties of the language”. (McDonough & Shaw)

TRANSLATING NEEDS TO SUBJECT MATTER AND COMMUNICATION SITUATIONS

IDENTIFYING VERBAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES

UTILIZING VERBAL SOURCES FROM REAL LIFE

DESIGNING SKILL ACQUIRING TASKS

 Speaking has its distinctive
characteristics

1. Speech production is intimately

tied up with questions relating
to affect and identify.
2. Spontaneous spoken discourse.
3. The demands of speech
processing in real time
conversational.
Materials to teach
the skill of
speaking
 1. Individual speaker’s
affective needs in private and
unpredictable discourse
contexts.
2. Informal day –to day
( the spontaneous
conversation)
3. Public or formal uses of
spoken discourse.
4. Local and international
varieties of spoken
English.
Broad aims
“ Neatness”
Sense of “ neatness” to what
is presented, which is very
unlike the reality of
spontaneous.
To teach speaking should be to
help learners understand that
effective speaking skills.
Natural process in
conversational and
take.
 Context and the user strongly
influence language choices and
interpretations.
1. How you begin and end a telephone
conversation.
2. How you respond to a compliment.
3. How you interrupt.
4. How you lead up to a request for something.
 Materials also need to built
strong language production skill.
 Confident production of voice.
 Pronunciation.
 Fluency.
 Pace.
 Gesture.
What particular learners and
context are these materials
written for?
Upper – intermediate.
Advanced learners.
Discussion and Conclusions
One might claim that very few materials
actually teach speaking skills.

1. Prompts for talk.

2. Pronunciation
