To Penny Ur (1996:121-122), some problems which may occur in speaking activities are: inhibition, nothing to say, low or uneven participation, and mother-tongue use.

Mark the INCORRECT alternative according to the author’s suggestions and reasons to adopt speaking activities in the classroom.

a

Use group work so that all utterances will be correct, and learners may not slip into their native language.

b

Base the activity on easy language. In general, the level of the language which is necessary for a discussion should be lower than that used in intensive language-learning activities in the same class.

c

Make a careful choice of topic and task to stimulate interest. On the whole, if the purpose of the discussion is clear, participants will be more motivated.

d

Give some instructions or training in discussion skills. For instance, establish tasks and rules to the participants of the groups.
