Speaking

Speaking as a language activity (LA) has the following specific features:

Ø Motivation which is based on a speaker’s need of communication; it is always motivated;

Ø Active character, i.e. Sp. reveals the speaker’s attitude to reality;

Ø Purposefulness, i.e. each utterance has its own communicative task (to persuade, to convince, to talk to, to ask…);

Ø Connection with a man’s activity, i.e. upon the situation;

Ø Connection with the communicative function of thinking;

Ø Connection with the speaker’s personality (each of us is an individual, characterized by a unique combination of abilities, peculiarities, character, and it can’t but reveal itself in speech);

Ø Situational character, i.e. coordination of speech units with the basic components of the process of communication (time, place, interlocutor, relationships);

Ø Heuristic character (эвристический): one can’t operate only with cliché, set phrases. An utterance is often unpredictable;

Ø Independent process: speaking is independent of what has been read, of the mother-tongue, of props;

Ø Normal tempo.

Ø Integrated character, i.e. synthesis of speech habits, life experience, emotions of speakers.

A skill is the optimal level of perfection (improvement, development) of a certain activity. A skill differs from a habit in the fact that it enables a speaker to conduct an activity, not a single act.
