Definition
of Speaking
Based on
Šolcová (2011: 17) speaking as an interactive process in which
individuals alternate in their roles as speakers and listeners and employ both
verbal and non-verbal means to reach their communicative goals, speaking in a
similar way saying that speaking is the process of building and sharing meaning
through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts.
Speaking
is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and
receiving which speaking
is also a
multi-sensory activity because
it involves paralinguistic features
such as eye-contact,
facial expressions, body language, tempo, pauses, voice quality
changes, and pitch variation affect
conversational flow. It seems
that culture is
integral in how speaking
is constructed which
has implications for
how speaking is taught and learned.
