Rationale Tarone (2005) argues that speaking English is usually viewed as the most complex and difficult skill to master. In a recent study, Bygate (2009) agreed with the aforementioned statement by claiming that learners with reading and writing proficiency do not always have fine speaking skills. Chaney & Burk (1998) describe speaking as a crucial part of second language teaching and learning involving building and sharing meaning through the use of verbal and nonverbal symbols in a variety of contexts. Despite the importance attached to speaking, teaching speaking skills for many years has been undervalued and English language teachers have continued to teach speaking just as a repetition of drills or memorization of dialogues.
However, today's world requires that students develop and improve on their communicative abilities because that is the only way students can express themselves and learn how to follow the social and cultural rules appropriate in each communicative circumstance. Fluency according to Nunan (2003) refers to the use of language in a quick and confident manner with few pauses. Ur (1999:120) states of the all four skills, speaking is considered to be able to be the most important skill. Therefore, learning speaking becomes the greatest interest for foreign language learners.
However, speaking skill seems to be the most challenging task for every learner of every age especially children. There are many factors that affect young student’s Speaking skills. By understanding these factors not only helps the learners but the teachers as well as they could understand which factors needs paying attention and they could give proper attention to improve student’s speaking ability. Aim of the study The purpose of the study was to identify the factors affecting the speaking skills in English amongst children.
Scope of the study The study limits itself on focusing on the characteristic of speakers, passage and testing conditions and students’ perception about these factors. Method of the study A survey questionnaire is designed to collect students’ perception about which factors affect the speaking skill the most. Observation during actual 1 teaching to verify the teachers’ responses on the methods used to teach speaking skills in English. Design of the study The thesis is divided into three parts: Part I: Introduction; Part II: Development; Part III: Conclusion Part I: Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the study such as the rationale, the aims, scope, design and methods of the study.
Part II: Development Chapter 1: Theoretical background This chapter handles the theoretical background of the issues relating to speaking and teaching speaking, characteristics of young learners and factors affecting Speaking skills in English of children. Chapter 2: Devoted to Research methodology Chapter 3: Deals with findings and discussion. Part 3: Conclusion Conclusion summarizes all the obtained results and includes suggestions for further study. 2 Part 2: Development CHAPTER ONE: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND 1.
The definition of Speaking Speaking is a basic skill that Language Learners should master with the other language skills. It is defined as a complex process of sending and receiving messages through the use of verbal expressions, but it also involves nonverbal symbols such as gestures and facial expressions. Different scholars define speaking differently, some of these are: speaking is the action of conveying information or expressing one’s feeling in speech (Oxford English Dictionary). speaking is ‘the activity of giving speeches and talks’ (Collins Co-build English Dictionary for Advanced Learners, 2001).
Hedge (2000) defines speaking as “a skill by which they [people] are judged while first impressions are being formed.” That is to say speaking is an important skill which deserves more attention in both first and second language because it reflects people’s thoughts and personalities. Harmer (2007: 284) states speaking is the ability to speak fluently and presupposes not only knowledge of language features but also the ability to process information and language ‘on the spot’ while Quianthy (1990: 7) defines speaking as the process of transmitting ideas and information orally in variety of situations. Nunan (in Kayi, 2006:1) defines speaking as the use of language quickly and confidently with few unnatural pauses, which is called as fluency. Speaking is the process of building and sharing meaning through the use of verbal and nonverbal symbols, in a variety of contexts.
(Chaney, 1998:13) In relation to all the above definitions (Bygate, 1986) forwarded that speaking is a very important part of second language learning, because the ability to communicate in a second language clearly and efficiently contributes to the success of the learner in school and later in life. Types of Speaking Nunan (in Brown, 2001:250) writes that generally there are two types of spoken language, as follow: a, Monologue Brown states that monologue is the speaking where one speaker uses spoken language for any length of time, such as in speeches, lectures, reading, 3 new broadcasts, and the like, then the listener have to process the information without interruption and the speech will go on whether or not the listeners comprehends what the speaker means. b, Dialogue It is different with monologue; Nunan says that dialogue is the speaking that involves two or more speakers. The interruption may happen in the speech when the interlocutor does not comprehend what the speaker say.
Like Nunan, according to Harmer (2007:343) finally, we might make a difference between speaking, that is unplanned, such as a conversation that take place spontaneously. Functions of Speaking Speaking is very important, especially in daily communication. A person is recognized that he/ she is educated from the way and what he/ she is speaking. When speaking, someone has to know what to speak and understand the ideas of what he/ she is talking about.
Richards (2008: 21) says, “In workshops with teachers and in designing my own materials, I use an expanded three-part version of Brown and Yule’s framework (after Jones, 1996, and Burns, 1998): talks as interaction; talk as transaction; talk as performance. Each of these speech activities is quite distinct in term of function and enquires different teaching approaches.” 1) Talk as interaction Talk as interaction refers to what we normally mean by “conversation” and describes interaction that serves a primarily social function. When people meet, they exchange greetings, engage in small talk, recount recent experiences, and so, on because they wish to be friendly and to establish a comfortable zone of interaction with others. The focus is more on the speakers and how they wish to present themselves to each other than on the message.
2) T alk as transaction Talk as transaction refers to situations where the focus is on what is said or done.
