Public Speaking:A Breakthrough in Enhancing Oral Communi cative Competence

In learning to speak English,most college students tend to neglect the quality of their speech in order to achieve fluency of a message.Such a long-standing mistaken idea contributes to the fact that students,while getting seemingly fluent in whatever they express,actually communicate inefficiently and make little progress in speaking.On the basis of the "Comprehensible Output" theory proposed by Swain,the author argues that public speaking lessons can help students make progress toward learning quality conversation,and presents our teachers with a good variety of successful classroom teaching methods.
