Speaking is a complex skill. Learners may need a lot of help to prepare for speaking: practice of necessary vocabulary, time to organize ideas, pronunciation practice, etc.The activities in a speaking lesson ofter follow this pattern. 

1. Lead-in: introduction to the topic, activities focusing on the new language.
2. Practice activities to give them opportunities to use the new language. 
3. Post-task activities in which students can discuss the topic and the language used freely.
