SPEAKING SKILL

 

SPEAKING SKILL

Keterampilan berbicara (speaking skill) dalam bahasa Inggris merupakan suatu keterampilan seseorang untuk menyampaikan pemikirannya kepada siapa saja melalui lisan. Speaking bagi kebanyakan orang dianggap keterampilan paling sulit karena meliputi banyak aspek dari kemampuan berbahasa Inggris antara lain pronunciation (pengucapan), listening (mendengarkan), grammar (tata bahasa) dan vocabulary (kosakata) sekaligus (Yanto, 2015). Namun sesungguhnya yang diperlukan hanyalah sedikit keberanian dan motivasi yang besar untuk bisa berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan lancar.
