Activities such as role play allow students who are not sure with their speaking to develop little by little, the feedback from teachers must start with the positive aspects in such a way that students will be motivated to continue improving.
Fluency: After the development of speaking activities, the teacher must recognize the new vocabulary and the correct pronunciation of each of the words presented In class:
Students are encouraged to sing their favorite song, this way they will feel that they are doing it more fluently and will be motivated to continue with the process, this requires practice and listening.
Complexity: The student's level of English must be taken into account in order to demand more elaborate answers from the students. Complexity is defined by Ellis (2003, p. 340) as “the extent to which the language produced in performing a task is elaborate and varied”
In class:
Ask questions that increase in complexity, in this way students will be motivated to answer and the difficulty of answering each question increases.
It is important for the teacher to know the interests and abilities of their students as well as their learning styles, all this favors the teaching and learning process, as well as significant experiences with native people other than the teacher that motivate them to carry out questions and participate in the language to be learned.
