Types of classroom speaking performance

Imitative:imitation really is not for a meaningful interaction but for focusing on some particular elements of language form

Intensive :intensive goes beyond imitative and includes speaking performance to practice some grammatical or phonological aspect of language

Responsive: a good deal of student speech in the classroom is responsive: short replies to the teacher or student initiated questions or comments

transactional(dialogue): transactional language ,carried out for the purpose of conveying or exchanging specific information, we can say that it is extended form of responsive language

Interpersonal(dialogue): it is carried of to the goal of maintaining social relationship than for the transmission of facts and information

Extensive(monologue): finally students at intermediate to advanced levels are called on to give extended monologues in the form of oral reports,summaries , or perhaps short speeches
