Lekcja mówienia – rozwijanie ustnych działań językowych w ujęciu działaniowym

The importance of oral production in language learning has been changing over the history of foreign language teaching and learning. An action-oriented approach recommends developing speaking skills by performing tasks embedded in environmental and situational contexts. During tasks performance learners undertake different types of language activities such as role playing, creating texts, mediating in communication and in this way they use language in authentic situations. The paper presents approaches to teaching speaking skills with particular focus on task-based language learning. Theoretical considerations are illustrated by an example of a task-based lesson scenario aimed at developing oral language skills.
