Developing Students' Speaking Ability through Genre-Based Teaching

One of some matters that should be considered in language teaching is that whether teachers should teach implicitly or explicitly related to certain language events in social context and the purpose of the events. In line with the importance of whether language teaching should be undertaken implicitly or explicitly, there is an approach that represents these needs. Genre-based approach is an approach that employs explicit instruction in teaching. Genre-based approach is possibly applied in teaching language skills in general or teaching speaking in particular besides writing, as current trends usually focus on. Regarding this, then this study is aimed at investigating how genre-based approach can be applied in teaching speaking especially in recount texts and what the students' responses towards the implementation of the genre-based approach (GBA) in speaking class.
