C) organizing speech practice (exercises).

Requirements to exercises:

1.Ex. should always be in key with the aim of the lesson. If we aim at teaching dialogue, all the ex-ses must be directed at developing dialogue skills;

2.Ex-ses must correspond to the stage of forming a habit, (no mish-mash);

3.Each ex-se must be repeated 6-7 times’

4.Before doing the ex-se a teacher must give a direction (instruction and example of how to do it), because there is hardly a better way of disclosing the mechanisms necessary for doing an ex-se.

5.Communicative character of ex-ses. Every lesson should be full of ex-ses. If they are but few, the lesson loses its effect, the pupils lack interest.
