A Communicative Approach to Oral Skills.

Ward, James

English Teaching Forum, v19 n2 p10-14 Apr 1981

An oral-skills lesson is proposed having three dimensions: (1) contextualization, where the students are shown the function and use of a language pattern; (2) drills which stimulate student thinking during mechanical manipulation; and (3) communication, which enables the student to use what they have been practicing.
