INTEGRATING SPEAKING SKILLS BY LISTENING

Abstract

Speaking and listening skills have been regarded as being too difficult to cope with ,so generally students are not willing to participate in tasks focusing on these two skills. When they are integrated through information-gap tasks, students might see the actual outcome and become more willing to practice to achieve more success in communicating their ideas. Some instructors do not prefer information-gap tasks thinking that the class may get out of control which may cause barriers in communication process.
