CONCEPT - SPEAKING SKILLS

What do you understand by 'speaking skills'?
Speaking is one of the basic language skills which also include listening, reading, and writing. It is an interactive process of forming meaning by means of linguistic symbols (words, phrases, sentences) of a language. Speaking includes producing, receiving, and processing information while interacting with other individuals. In short, speaking involves a minimum of two individuals who share and exchange information through the spoken linguistic symbols a language. Speaking requires the speaker to know the following components of a language:

  • Grammar
  • Pronunciation
  • Vocabulary
  • Use of language in specific contexts (when and how to speak what)
Moreover, everyone has his or her own skills, structure, and style of speaking. Speaking is important for communication as it helps us reach to our audience directly, thus making it necessary for us to improve our speaking skills. Now let's watch the video below to know and understand how to improve our speaking skills in English.
