After reading both MCM and Brown book, I hit upon questions that speaking skills and pronunciation (skills) are same? Should we have to think of them separately? I do not know the answer. Therefore, someone, could you tell me the answer?
In the Brown book, seven principles for teaching speaking skills are introduced. Among them, I like the part of 2nd. That is ‘provide intrinsically motivating techniques. It says that it is important to help students to see how the activity will benefit them. Students often do not know why we ask to do certain things. When I was a junior high or high school student, sometimes I do not know why we should do some kind of activities. I think that it is really important to make the student know the reason of the activities. It will motivate students.
In MCM book, techniques of child’s speaking skills are introduced. I think that Jazz Chants can be used not only for children but also for adults. When I teach speaking skills, I would like to use jazz chants.
