Summary
Speaking is the active way to express people’s thoughts and give oral information to other people. It is similar to the definition of speaking stated by Tarigan (1985, p.17) He states that speaking is one of the language skills in oral form to express the speaker’s ideas to everybody. He defined that speaking is the informal interchange of thought and information by spoken words. 3) states that “speaking is one of language skill that develop in children’s life begin from listening, in the same time where speaking is learnt”. This statement proves that speaking is a process that closely related to listening process. Speaking is a productive skill that produces utterances that is observable, as what Brown (2004, p. 140) notes that “speaking is a productive skill that can be directly and empirically observed; those observation are invariably collared by the accuracy and fluency”
