Speaking activities: five features

Paul Nation

Paul Nation is a senior lecturer at the English Language Institute in Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. He has taught in Indonesia, Thailland, and the U.S.A. His specialist interest is vocabulary learning and teaching.

This article proposes that speaking activities for language teaching make use of a limited and describable number of features to make them interesting and relevant. The author suggests that by understanding these features, teachers can improve the speaking activities they use, and that they can create their own activities, based on individual features and on combinations of them.
