We concentrated on one of the skills that we consider basic to develop the overall improvement of English as a second language: speaking. After some pedagogical reflections concerning oral activities in the classroom, we chose some role-plays and dramatizations to determine their impact on students´ oral production and the effect they may have on students´ learning processes. |
