  10. Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information (Brown,1994; Burns & Joyce, 1997) Speaking is "the process of building and sharing meaning through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts" (Chaney, 1998, p. 13). Speaking requires that learners not only know how to produce specific points of language such as grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary (linguistic competence), but also they understand when, why and in what ways to produce language (sociolinguistic competence) (Cunningham,1999).

They are, in fact, omnipresent in the language classroom and it is difficult to imagine a class without books, pictures, filmstrips, realia, games and so on. Even the more austere classroom will have some sort of materials.” (Nunan, 1988)
