TOEIC^® Speakingのタスクを活用した4技能統合型スピーキング活動

抄録

This paper presents how a speaking practice activity works while students use four skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) in integration. The purpose of the practical report is to explore instructions that are conducive to developing students’ skills to integrate four skills, rather than focusing on a single skill. First, the author delves into how four-skills oriented instructions are important to global competency education. Second, the author argues challenges that teachers would face in encouraging students to practice integrating multiple skills. Then, the author describes a speaking practice activity for university freshmen entitled “Extensive Listening Share”, which is an adaptation of a task in TOEIC^® Speaking. The activity is illustrated with students’ notes, speech scripts, and comments that they have written in class. Finally, the author has concluded that “Extensive Listening Share” has contributed to raising students’ awareness that they should listen and read in order to speak and write what they have listened and read, and the activity can provide students with orientation to developing speaking skills as an autonomous learner.
