dc.description.abstractThis paper recognizes a need for the development of a more specific oracy curriculum and considers various elements of oral communication. Some of the dimensions of communicative competence are identified and communicative intent is singled out as the main, over-riding dimension. Building upon this assumption, goals are established and a programme is proposed which attempts to facilitate communicative competence by means of experiential strategies, providing students with opportunities to experience language in all its various functions and thus ex tend their communicative repertoire. The programme supports the belief that the most effective means of enhancing communicative competence is through an experiential approach. Two main types of strategy, gaming and drama, are described. A classification of various types of drama is offered and the implications for an effective programme of oracy development are drawn. Finally, the scope of the programme is described activities is provided.en_US
