Speaking is one of the most challenging skills in SLA (Second Language Acquisition),
especially for teenagers learning English in high school due to teachers not tending to cover
the oral production of the language. Consequently, this paper aims to provide a solution for
young learners about how to improve their performance and discourse in such an
environment. Several speaking strategies are introduced so learners may resort to whenever
necessary to fill in those gaps appearing during their speeches. It is vital then to give answers
to two main questions. Firstly, may the use of the speaking strategies improve the production
of the language orally? And to what extent can these strategies be applied to real-life
contexts?
A 6-lesson didactic proposal, whose methodology is based on recording an initial and final
identical role-play to examine the performance of the pupils before and after the procedure, is
suggested. This study is conducted with 5 participants. The results demonstrate that the
implementation of these speaking strategies is beneficial for L2 learners regarding language
production. Furthermore, to examine the participants' degree of satisfaction and recognise the
experiment's success from their perspective, a questionnaire filled by the students is needed.
This paper also contains a conclusion on the examination to gather the concluding ideas on
the matter and additional thoughts for further implementation of the proposal. [-]
