NIBRAS I. S. A Study to Find Out the Best Approach for the Iraqi Teachers to Teach English Language Conversation

Abstract

Being able to converse is an essential part of a complete foreign language education.
However, the teaching of conversation is often equated with the teaching of speaking . A
Conversation Norms Approach to teaching conversation incorporates aspects of authentic native
speaker (or expert speaker) conversation, such as spoken grammar and pragmatics, into
instruction. This study takes a closer look at conversation, and examines issues connected with the
effective teaching of conversation. An informal inquiry of the foreign language conversation in the
classroom also provides insight into the reality of teaching .
