Speaking Activity

  The final stage of the lesson will be the activate and the activate phase is going to form the main speaking activity within the lesson.

Writing skills are mostly practiced in the form of homework which can often be neglected and completed without necessary focus and effort. Concerning speaking, this function requires a higher deal of language fluency as well as an understanding of the accent and pronunciation of vocabulary. Additionally,...  [Read more]
