Speaking is one of the major language skills, which has distinctive characteristic from others. Some linguists give some definitions of speaking that may help us to get clearer description. Martin By gate (1987) stated that speaking is a skill which deserves attention every bit as much as literary skills, in both first and second languages. It is the skill by which they are most frequently judged, and through which they may make or lose friends. It is also a medium through which much language is learnt, and which for many is particularly conducive for learning.
Speaking is the mode of oral discourse in which a single speaker communicates with (address) an audience, usually, or more than one (Americana Encyclopedia, 1986).
Speaking is a part of human life. According to Lado (1961: 241), speaking is the ability to express oneself in life situations, report acts, precise words, or to express a sequence of ideas fluently.
