speaking is one of skills that is important not only as communication skill but also as a means to facilitate the acquisition of target language (Christine & Burns, 2012). Speaking skill is beneficial to improve students' knowledge and experience, and to help them easier get a job. Every student has to master vocabulary and grammar, and how to produce what the spoken content is.Therefore, speaking is a highly complex skill that applies continued process including the speaker's cognitive, physical, and socio-cultural aspects (Burns, 2012). or Nunan (1999) divides the aspects of speaking into two; accuracy and fluency. Accuracy relates to pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary whereas fluency involves the content of the spoken text. Teacher's knowledge of the aspects of speaking will help him to design a lesson plan and to implement it.
There are possibly some methods of teaching speaking. In this article, they are divided into three methods (Kroeker, 2009). He provides Indirect methods, Direct methods, and Indirect Plus methods. Teacher could choose one or more of the methods that being appropriate with students' situation. every student in every region may have different ways of learning. Therefore, it is important to know furtherly them.
Indirect methods means that the students has to be active in classroom interaction through participation. The examples of the methods are audiolingual method, Communicative Language Learning or Community language Learning. Direct methods include speaking analysis of SLA and discourse analysis through language input and processes, communication strategy, and systemic function of micro-skill. The method could be a practice to differentiate between native and non-native speakers or recording speaking. Last, Indirect Plus methods refer to a combination between students' exposure and spoken discourse in speaking interaction. This method could be implemented by doing task-based method.
