Abstract

This article explores the use of dialogic interaction as an effective approach to develop students' speaking skills. By emphasizing interactive and collaborative dialogue, dialogic interaction provides opportunities for students to engage in authentic conversations, fostering effective communication and enhancing language proficiency. The article highlights the benefits of dialogic interaction, including the enhancement of speaking skills, promotion of active learning, development of social and emotional skills, and encouragement of authentic language use. Practical strategies for implementing dialogic interaction in the classroom are discussed, such as think-pair-share, debates and discussions, role-plays and simulations, and Socratic seminars. The article also emphasizes the importance of scaffolding, reflective feedback, authentic materials and contexts, technology integration, flexible groupings, and regular practice to maximize the effectiveness of dialogic interaction. By implementing these strategies, teachers can create inclusive classroom environments where every student's voice is valued and heard, empowering them to become proficient speakers who can confidently navigate communication in various contexts.
