The basic purpose of learning a language is to communicate. The spoken form of the language takes the predominant role in the communication. The spoken form includes monologue, elocution, role play, group discussion, conversation including the one that uses monosyllabic words or short utterances and so on. Though speech is inseparable from listening, understanding the spoken form and responding to the same comprises both the receptive and productive skills. The present study uses the materials provided in the text book. The activities are based on familiar situations with known vocabulary. By using graphic organizers, the pupils could be motivated to start a conversation and also enabled to respond in succession.
