 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!! For this entry we are going to cover something quite similar, which is speaking. When it comes to speaking there are 3 dimensions: 1.       Transactional or Interpersonal 2.      Interactive or Non-interactive 3.      Planned or Unplanned In a classroom we always have to take into account the environment that surrounds the student, as this will probably the primary factor that will affect the development of his speaking.
