A number of modern Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS) have long implemented a unique English Language Teaching (ELT) strategy in improving their students’ English-speaking skills. In IBS, for example, head of language department requires the students to communicate in English in daily activities, and punishment is imposed to those who do not speak English. However, there was no specifically academic term used to describe such strategy, nor was there a study to investigate the effectiveness of the strategy. This essay investigates what IBS-applied ELT strategy is, and to what extent it is effective in improving speaking skills of the students. It is found that IBS has made use of a behaviour modification as ELT strategy. The behaviour modification is able to encourage students to communicate in English in their daily activities. It also leads students to acquire accuracy, complexity and fluency in speaking.

Based on data from the GRAAL group's questionnaire on remote teaching, caused by the Covid-19 emergency as reported in Conti (2021, this issue), it emerges that oral production practice was neglected by both high school and college students. Aim of this paper is to reflect on how to promote and sustain speaking from the beginning of the language learning process, during in-person, remote and/or hybrid teaching. The framework presented indicates task-based language teaching (TBLT) as an effective approach to help learners participate in successful communication. The paper provides: 1. an overview of current literature on the subject; 2. applicable examples integrated with Flipgrid; 3. data analysis of students’ performance. Key words: REMOTE TEACHING; HYBRID TEACHING; TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING; SPEAKING SKILLS; TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING De los datos del cuestionario del grupo GRAAL sobre la enseñanza virtual, causada por la emergencia Covid-19, como se informa en Conti (2021, este número), surge que la práctica de la producción oral fue descuidada tanto por los estudiantes de secundaria como por los universitarios. El objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre cómo promover y sostener el habla desde el inicio del proceso de aprendizaje del idioma, durante la enseñanza presencial, virtual y / o híbrida. El marco presentado indica que la enseñanza de idiomas basada en tareas (TBLT) es un enfoque eficaz para ayudar a los alumnos a participar en una comunicación exitosa. Este presente artículo ofrece: 1. una descripción general de la literatura actual sobre el tema; 2. ejemplos aplicables integrados con Flipgrid; 3. análisis de datos del rendimiento de los estudiantes. Palabras clave: ENSEÑANZA VIRTUAL; ENSEÑANZA HIBRIDA; ENSEÑANZA DE IDIOMAS BASADO BASADA EN TAREAS; APRENDIZAJE CON TICS Dai dati del questionario realizzato dal gruppo GRAAL sulla didattica a distanza dovuta dall'emergenza da Covid-19, riportati in Conti (2021, in questo numero), emerge che l’abilità di produzione orale è stata trascurata sia dagli studenti delle scuole superiori che nei corsi universitari. Il presente contributo si prefigge di riflettere su come promuovere e supportare la produzione orale fin dall'inizio del processo di apprendimento della lingua durante l'insegnamento in presenza, a distanza e/o ibrido. Il quadro proposto definisce il task-based language teaching (TBLT) quale approccio ideale per favorire strategie e pratiche efficaci al fine dello sviluppo del parlato. Il presente contributo fornisce: 1. una revisione della letteratura sull'argomento; 2. esempi applicativi integrati attraverso l’uso di un opportuno strumento digitale Flipgrid; 3. un’analisi dei dati sulle prestazioni degli studenti.

The present research attends to the techniques utilized by English as a foreign language (EFL) university instructors to develop their students’ speaking skills. It hypothesizes that EFL university instructors use a variety of techniques to bring about such an objective. To bring about the aims of the research and validate the posed hypothesis, a 30-item questionnaire has been designed and distributed among all the instructors of conversation at the Depts. of English and Translation / University of Mosul during the second term of the academic year 2103-2014.

This study aims to find out how students' speaking skills are developed through the Communicative Language Teaching approach. The significance of this research is to provide information for readers, especially for Pamona people as native speakers of the language, about the tenses in the Pamona language. Researchers used the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) theory by Richard and Rodgers to develop students' speaking skills. The results of this study indicate that the objectives of this study have been achieved. The ability to speak English students successfully developed through the application of communicative language teaching approaches, through learning that triggers students to speak actively in the classroom through conversations as an exercise. In the first cycle all students attend the test. The results of the test in the first cycle were 12 students failed (33.3%) and 24 students (66.7%) passed. Achievement of the average grade of the class is also still low with a score of 65.8 grades C. Researchers then reflect on the learning process in this first cycle to be applied in the second cycle. In the second cycle, all students attend the test. The results of this test were 33 students (91.6%) successfully passed the test and 3 students (8.4%) failed. From the explanation of the results of the second cycle above, it appears that in this cycle the completeness criteria for class has been reached, in which 80% of the total number of students must achieve grades A, B or C or a value of more than 65. Students succeed in developing their English speaking skills because supported by teaching approaches that trigger students to speak and practice the functions of the language being learned.

<p>Research studies have shown that recasts are one of the types of corrective feedback frequently used by teachers in second language teaching. However, little is known about the effectiveness of recasts in second language teaching within Indonesian context since most Interactional Approach studies conducted with Indonesian context focus on corrective feedback in general, not particularly on recasts. Moreover, most of these studies do not include past forms as the language feature being studied. The current study investigated the use of recasts in yielding students’ uptake in past forms (Verb type II). 5 participants were involved in the study. Pairing with the examiner, each participant engaged in a jigsaw-task activity where they received recasts. The recast episodes produced by each participant were analyzed and coded into some categories, which were “repair”, “needs-repair : acknowledgement”, “needs-repair : modified”, “needs-repair : unmodified”, and “no uptake”. The result showed that the uptake which was mostly produced by participants was “needs-repair : acknowledgement”. This finding contradicts the one in the previous study which showed that the uptake that was most frequently produced by the participants was “repair”. The finding of this study is expected to trigger further studies to examine students’ perception towards recasts that leads to the ineffectiveness of it.<strong></strong></p><strong>Keywords: </strong> corrective feedback; recast; past forms; speaking skills
