Speech is the activity to use the language for communicative purposes in real situations. Speech is always emotionally colored. It expresses the speaker’s thoughts, feelings and attitude.

There are two forms of speaking: monologue and dialog. Any kind of speaking should be motivated and addressed to someone.

Teachers should begin teaching monologue with a sentence. Each pupil gives a sentence according to the topic and situation created in the classroom by the teacher or textbook. Then the pupils extend the sentence and combine two simple sentences into one compound sentence.

Pupils may also be given key words, a situation or the plan of the story to use during the speaking process. So, while teaching monologue the teacher should teach how to make sentences first and only then how to combine the sentences into one logical sequence.

Very often pupils retell the text mechanically. That is why the teacher should always ask the pupils questions related to the context.
Teaching dialog is another thing. Pupils should listen to dialog once or twice then read it for better comprehension.

Pupils can listen to the dialog then imitate the speakers. Attention is paid to pronunciation and intonation. Then they can learn the text by heart. Another way of teaching a dialog is to enact the pattern dialog between people. Pupils can also enact it by modifying some elements in it. Then they can express their attitude toward the given situation.
