Abstract

The paper presents the CC (Collect/Combine) Approach. It aims at enhancing speaking in language instruction. There is an emphasis on repetition of well-known linguistic material (texts, dialogues). This could be done in the form of chorus reading and individual "all-at-the-same-time" buzz reading to warming up at the beginning of language periods. This familiarity with well treated texts and dialogues makes it possible for the students to "collect" linguistic elements, "combine" them and re-use them for expressing a content of their own. Three concrete techniques are presented, that is, REMO (Pupils Remodel Texts/Dialogues): Remodelling means exchanging words and phrases, but the learners themselves choose what and how to change. CCM (Collect-Combine to Make Monologues) and CCD (Collect-Combine to Make Dialogues): Words, phrases, lines, sentences from well-known texts and dialogues are collected and re-used in new combinations.
