What is the answer? “Language ‘practice’ should lead to language ‘use’ but doesn’t.” (Salter, 1989) • increased pair/group work task-based learning • re-examine and re-construe the rule of teacher talk
Characteristics of spontaneous talk • improvised (oral/aural), unrehearsed • communicative, message-oriented • language use not language practice • natural (as outside the classroom) • authentic (real / purposeful) • respond to unexpected / unpredictable • conversations • ‘struggle’ – communicate when linguistic resources are stretched
In the classroom? • Spontaneous contributions in the TL as part of the language of the classroom • Unplanned / unscripted talk as part of a lesson task or activity (whether pair/group/whole class) • Whole-class teacher-led interactions that follow where the learner wants to go (and that may prime for subsequent pair work)
Why is it important? • Students equate the ability to speak in the TL with learning the language (it is the subject to them) • Students believe that what they can produce in unrehearsed situations is what they really know • Spontaneous TL use (or lack of it) has been highlighted in every inspection report (since records began – in the UK at least!) • Theories of language learning prioritise interaction as the primary site of learning
In the classroom? • Spontaneous contributions in the TL as part of the language of the classroom • Unplanned / unscripted talk as part of a lesson task or activity (whether pair/group/whole class) • Whole-class teacher-led interactions that follow where the learner wants to go (and that may prime for subsequent pair work)
