SPEAKING
Speaking is the delivery of language through the
mouth. To speak, we create sounds using many
parts of our body, including the lungs, vocal tract,
vocal chords, tongue, teeth and lips.
Speaking can be formal or informal:
Informal speaking is typically used with family and
friends, or people you know well.
Formal speaking occurs in business or academic
situations, or when meeting people for the first
time.
Reflection
English learners can practise speaking online using voice or video chat and
services like Skype. They can also record and upload their voice for other people to
listen to.
