JOYFUL APPROACHES FOR SPEAKING COURSES
Abstract
Speaking courses in English language education are important to develop many skills. They are enjoyable courses in which students can practice the words, phrases, idioms, or proverbs they learn. Teachers or lecturers are lucky if their students would like to attend the classroom activities, they prepare for their class hours. When students attend classroom activities full-heartedly new words, phrases or proverbs can be learnt joyfully. In speaking courses, phonetic letters, pronunciation of the words, definitions of the words in British English and in many American English are told. During the courses, students also develop their communication and thinking skills. This study deals with the speaking courses in the classes where English is taught as a second or as a foreign language. Sample classroom activities will be shared. Useful books to create joyful class hours will be suggested.
