Teaching Speaking Among the four basic language skills, speaking seems by far much more accessible to online teaching as the teacher listens and watches the students continuously, so he/she can monitor their spoken language, give them immediate or delayed feedback and encourage their active participation and engagement with the speaking activities. Nevertheless, the teacher should state from the beginning that learning and developing speaking is not like talking to a friend on Skype, for instance, even though this idea may help students to feel more comfortable and  confident when joining a speaking lesson online (Nobre, 2018b).   In terms of providing feedback, which is mandatory in teaching productive skills, the teacher may choose between on the spot feedback, by using either the chat box or the shared screen, or delayed feedback if there is the intention to wrap up at the end of the task. Another possibility for immediate correction in speaking could be to hold up a colourful card to signify an error has been made that needs correcting. No matter the choice (accuracy vs. fluency), the teacher should give the students more time to come up with answers when asking a question because of the time lag or unexpected delays between computers. The main advantage in teaching speaking online lies in the possibility of recording the lesson or the speaking activity for further use and improvement.
