Using Public Speaking Tasks in English Language Teaching

The purpose of this article is to present the using of public speaking tasks in English language teaching and to highlight some of their many advantages. Let me first describe what I mean by public speaking tasks: these include any task where the participant addresses an audi­ence orally. For the purpose of this article, I mean two types of these tasks: student presentations and debates. Student presentations may consist of either individual or group speeches based on class les­sons or outside projects. Debates are interactive tasks, and usually require a greater degree of organization. They can be held with two or more students who take turns speaking on either side of an issue. The public speaking tasks suggested here rely on authentic language use and commu­nication toward an audience. In this article, I will mention advantages of using these tasks in the language classroom, describe their implemen­tation, and provide examples of their use.

The advantages of public speaking

There are several clear advantages to using public speaking tasks in English language teaching . I have highlighted three that I think are most noteworthy: practice with all four language skills (listening, speak­ing, reading, and writing), develop­ment of critical thinking skills, and improved learning. One of these is discussed in more detail below.

Public speaking provides opportunities to practice all four language skills.

Presentation and debate tasks uti­lize and strengthen listening, speak­ing, reading, and writing skills. There is naturally a strong focus on speaking; spoken language is vital in delivering a clear, coherent speech. Peer evalu­ation can promote careful listening, which becomes especially meaning­ful during debates if participants are required to take notes and respond to their classmates' speeches. Addi­tionally, students will develop strong reading and writing skills during task preparation. Students must skim and scan a wide variety of sources and read key materials in depth as they search for information to use in presentations or debates. Writing practice is highlighted as learners take notes and complete argu­mentative essays in preparation for oral presentations.
